Steel PlantSpainCO₂ reported

Megasa Siderúrgica Narón steel plant is a steel plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Megasa Siderurgica SL. By capacity it ranks #12 of 14 steel plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 70,159 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 16,354 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 81% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 700,000 t of steel, Megasa Siderúrgica Narón steel 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 93% 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.
