Cement PlantUnited KingdomCO₂ reported

Ribblesdale Cement Plant is a cement plant in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials UK Ltd. By capacity it ranks #3 of 10 cement plants tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 577,802 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 134,686 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 23% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,300,000 t of cement, Ribblesdale Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en United Kingdom (1,000,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 10% 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.
