Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Torreon Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CEMEX SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #23 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 369,843 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 86,210 cars.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,000,000 t of cement, Torreon Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 38% 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.
