Steel Plant in Egypt. Approximate location 29.6409, 32.27885.

Steel PlantEgyptCO₂ reported

Egyptian Steel Ain Sokhna plant is a steel plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 600,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Egyptian Steel Group. By capacity it ranks #8 of 11 steel plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 102,396 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 23,869 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 68% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 600,000 t of steel, Egyptian Steel Ain Sokhna plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en Egypt (1,200,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 68% 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.
