Steel Plant in Slovakia. Approximate location 48.61808, 21.20077.

Steel PlantSlovakiaCO₂ reported

U. S. Steel Košice steel plant is a steel plant in Slovakia with a reported capacity of 4,500,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by US Steel Košice sro. It emits about 5,155,752 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,201,807 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 112% above the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 4,500,000 t of steel, U. S. Steel Košice steel plant est autour de la médiane des steel plant en Slovakia (4,500,000 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.
