Shanxi Tongcai Industry and Trade Co Ltd

Shanxi Tongcai Industry and Trade Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 2,780,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ShanXi TongCai Industry and Trade Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #132 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 3,664,360 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 854,163 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 144% above the median steel plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32440571.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 2,780,000 t of steel, Shanxi Tongcai Industry and Trade Co Ltd está alrededor de la mediana de steel plant en China (2,300,000 t of steel). 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.
