Steel Plant in Vietnam. Approximate location 19.33106, 105.78076.

Steel PlantVietnamCO₂ reported

VAS Nghi Son Cast Iron and Steel plant is a steel plant in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 3,150,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Nghi Son VAS Group JSC. By capacity it ranks #3 of 20 steel plants tracked in Vietnam. It emits about 2,816,235 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 656,465 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 65% above the median steel plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 3,150,000 t of steel, VAS Nghi Son Cast Iron and Steel plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des steel plant en Vietnam (1,000,000 t of steel). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 339% 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.
