Cement PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Redding Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 635,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CalPortland Co. By capacity it ranks #72 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 210,249 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 49,009 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 8% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 635,000 t of cement, Redding Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en United States (1,100,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 11% au-dessus 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.
