Steel PlantSpainCO₂ reported

Celsa Global Steel Wire Santander plant is a steel plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 750,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Global Steel Wire SA. By capacity it ranks #10 of 14 steel plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 34,963 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 8,150 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 91% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 750,000 t of steel, Celsa Global Steel Wire Santander plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en Spain (1,200,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 10% 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.
