Cement PlantNigeriaCO₂ reported
Sokoto Cement Plant is a cement plant in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 12,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by BUA International Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 10 cement plants tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 4,320,860 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,007,193 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897568.
Bei 12,500,000 t of cement ist Sokoto Cement Plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von cement plant in Nigeria (7,339,667 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 5% unter dem Medianwert von cement plant. Untersektor: cement. Als cement plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1400°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Zementanlagen erhitzen Kalkstein auf 1.400°C in Drehrohröfen — einer der heißesten Industrieprozesse — und müssen die Temperatur über die gesamte Ofenlänge präzise kontrollieren.
