Steel Plant in Poland. Approximate location 50.48922, 19.45774.

Steel PlantPolandCO₂ reported

CMC Zawiercie steel plant is a steel plant in Poland with a reported capacity of 1,700,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by CMC Poland SP zoo. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 steel plants tracked in Poland. It emits about 165,261 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,522 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 82% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,700,000 t of steel, CMC Zawiercie steel plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des steel plant en Poland (900,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 15% au-dessus 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.
