Steel PlantIraqCO₂ reported
Van Steel Kurdistan plant is a steel plant in Iraq with a reported capacity of 750,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Van Company for Industrial Investment and General Trading. By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 steel plants tracked in Iraq. It emits about 454,440 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 105,930 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% above the median steel plant.

À 750,000 t of steel, Van Steel Kurdistan plant est autour de la médiane des steel plant en Iraq (750,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 201% au-dessus 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.
