Cement PlantPeruCO₂ reported

Rioja Cement Plant is a cement plant in Peru with a reported capacity of 440,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Pacasmayo SAA. By capacity it ranks #6 of 7 cement plants tracked in Peru. It emits about 143,940 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 33,552 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 440,000 t of cement, Rioja Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Peru (2,800,000 t of cement). 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.
