Steel Plant in Saudi Arabia. Approximate location 26.27794, 49.94901.

Steel PlantSaudi ArabiaCO₂ reported

Al Ittefaq Arab Steel Dammam plant is a steel plant in Saudi Arabia 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 Arab Steel Co. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 steel plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 1,306,009 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 304,431 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 2,600,000 t of steel, Al Ittefaq Arab Steel Dammam plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des steel plant en Saudi Arabia (1,200,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 8% 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.
