Guangxi Guigang Iron and Steel Group Co Ltd

Guangxi Guigang Iron and Steel Group Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 1,400,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Guangxi Guigang Iron and Steel Group Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #225 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 1,765,171 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 411,462 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 133% above the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,400,000 t of steel, Guangxi Guigang Iron and Steel Group Co Ltd est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en China (2,300,000 t of steel). 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.
