Cement PlantTanzaniaCO₂ reported
Mtwara Cement Plant is a cement plant in Tanzania with a reported capacity of 3,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Dangote Cement PLC. By capacity it ranks #1 of 6 cement plants tracked in Tanzania. It emits about 1,107,966 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 258,267 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897926.
À 3,000,000 t of cement, Mtwara Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en Tanzania (1,100,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 22% en dessous de la médiane des cement plant. Sous-secteur: cement. Comme cement plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1400°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 cimenteries chauffent le calcaire à 1.400°C dans des fours rotatifs — l'un des processus industriels les plus chauds — et doivent contrôler la température avec précision sur toute la longueur du four.
