Steel Plant in India. Approximate location 21.23297, 79.6315.

Steel PlantIndiaCO₂ reported

Sunflag Iron and Steel plant is a steel plant in India with a reported capacity of 525,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Sunflag Iron and Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #40 of 61 steel plants tracked in India. It emits about 696,414 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 162,334 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 146% above the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 525,000 t of steel, Sunflag Iron and Steel plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en India (950,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 16% en dessous de la médiane des steel plant. Sous-secteur: iron-and-steel. Comme steel plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1500°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 aciéries brûlent du charbon dans des hauts fourneaux ou utilisent des arcs électriques pour fondre des ferrailles; dans les deux cas, le métal en fusion doit être maintenu au-dessus de 1.500°C et transféré à travers des tuyauteries et récipients chauds étendus.
