Cement PlantSouth KoreaCO₂ reported

Sampyo Cement Samcheok Cement Plant is a cement plant in South Korea with a reported capacity of 10,090,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Sampyo Cement Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 12 cement plants tracked in South Korea. It emits about 3,255,726 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 758,910 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 10,090,000 t of cement, Sampyo Cement Samcheok Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en South Korea (3,750,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 20% 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.
