Villa Gautier Cement Plant

Villa Gautier Cement Plant is a cement plant in Dominican Republic with a reported capacity of 1,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Consorcio Minero Dominicano SA. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 cement plants tracked in Dominican Republic. It emits about 326,209 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 76,039 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 25% below the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438344.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1,200,000 t of cement ist Villa Gautier Cement Plant unter dem Medianwert von cement plant in Dominican Republic (2,500,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 9% 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.
