Habas Aliaga steel plant

Habas Aliaga steel plant is a steel plant in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 4,500,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Habas Industrial and Medical Gases Production Industries AŞ. By capacity it ranks #4 of 26 steel plants tracked in Türkiye. It emits about 286,486 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,780 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 88% below the median steel plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1567068.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 4,500,000 t of steel, Habas Aliaga steel plant está muy por encima de la mediana de steel plant en Türkiye (1,400,000 t of steel). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 32% por debajo de la mediana de steel plant. Subsector: iron-and-steel. Como steel plant, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 800–1500°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas de acero queman carbón en altos hornos o utilizan arcos eléctricos para fundir chatarra; en ambos casos el metal fundido debe mantenerse por encima de 1.500°C y transferirse a través de tuberías y recipientes calientes extensos.
