Agha Steel Industries Karachi plant

Steel Plant in Pakistan. Approximate location 24.84185, 67.31135.

Steel PlantPakistanCO₂ reported

Agha Steel Industries Karachi plant is a steel plant in Pakistan with a reported capacity of 450,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Agha Steel Industries Ltd. By capacity it ranks #5 of 5 steel plants tracked in Pakistan. It emits about 59,702 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 13,917 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 75% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 450,000 t of steel, Agha Steel Industries Karachi plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en Pakistan (800,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 87% en dessous de la médiane des steel plant. Sous-secteur: iron-and-steel. Comme steel plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1500°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les aciéries brûlent du charbon dans des hauts fourneaux ou utilisent des arcs électriques pour fondre des ferrailles; dans les deux cas, le métal en fusion doit être maintenu au-dessus de 1.500°C et transféré à travers des tuyauteries et récipients chauds étendus.
