Steel Plant in Taiwan. Approximate location 22.56228, 120.36173.

Steel PlantTaiwanCO₂ reported

Tung Ho Steel Kaohsiung Plant is a steel plant in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corp. By capacity it ranks #8 of 10 steel plants tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 145,492 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 33,914 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 62% below the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 700,000 t of steel, Tung Ho Steel Kaohsiung Plant est en dessous de la médiane des steel plant en Taiwan (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.
