Steel Plant in Romania. Approximate location 45.43238, 27.9814.

Steel PlantRomaniaCO₂ reported

GFG Liberty Galati steel plant is a steel plant in Romania with a reported capacity of 3,000,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Liberty Galati SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 5 steel plants tracked in Romania. It emits about 3,881,295 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 904,731 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 139% above the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 3,000,000 t of steel, GFG Liberty Galati steel plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des steel plant en Romania (535,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 2409% 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.
