Cement Plant in Honduras. Approximate location 15.70623, -87.93055.
Cement PlantHondurasCO₂ reported
Bijao Cement Plant is a cement plant in Honduras with a reported capacity of 2,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos del Norte SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Honduras. It emits about 690,476 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 160,950 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 17% below the median cement plant.

À 2,300,000 t of cement, Bijao Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Honduras (2,300,000 t of cement). Sous-secteur: cement. Comme cement plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1400°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 cimenteries chauffent le calcaire à 1.400°C dans des fours rotatifs — l'un des processus industriels les plus chauds — et doivent contrôler la température avec précision sur toute la longueur du four.
