Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel plant

Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel plant is a steel plant in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 300,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Thai Nguyen Iron And Steel JSC. By capacity it ranks #20 of 20 steel plants tracked in Vietnam. It emits about 61,107 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 14,244 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 62% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 300,000 t of steel, Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en Vietnam (1,000,000 t of steel). 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.
