Yunnan Qujing Iron and Steel Group Chenggang Iron and Steel Co Ltd

Yunnan Qujing Iron and Steel Group Chenggang Iron and Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 2,600,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Yunnan Qujing Iron and Steel Group Chenggang Iron and Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #145 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 4,060,909 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 946,599 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 189% above the median steel plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 2,600,000 t of steel ist Yunnan Qujing Iron and Steel Group Chenggang Iron and Steel Co Ltd etwa um dem Medianwert von steel plant in China (2,300,000 t of steel). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 22% über dem Medianwert von steel plant. Untersektor: iron-and-steel. Als steel plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1500°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. Stahlwerke verbrennen Kohle in Hochöfen oder nutzen Lichtbogenöfen zum Schmelzen von Schrott; in beiden Fällen muss das geschmolzene Metall über 1.500°C gehalten und durch umfangreiche heiße Rohrleitungen und Behälter geleitet werden.
