Tuyen Quang Iron and Steel Long Binh steel plant

Tuyen Quang Iron and Steel Long Binh steel plant is a steel plant in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 550,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). By capacity it ranks #13 of 20 steel plants tracked in Vietnam. It emits about 867,170 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 202,138 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 192% above the median steel plant.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 550,000 t of steel, Tuyen Quang Iron and Steel Long Binh steel plant está por debajo de la mediana de steel plant en Vietnam (1,000,000 t of steel). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 674% por encima 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.
