Rajhi Al Assemah Steel Jeddah plant

Rajhi Al Assemah Steel Jeddah plant is a steel plant in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 850,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Rajhi Steel Industries Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #5 of 6 steel plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 180,237 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 42,013 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 61% below the median steel plant.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 850,000 t of steel, Rajhi Al Assemah Steel Jeddah plant è al di sotto di la mediana di steel plant in Saudi Arabia (1,200,000 t of steel). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 61% al di sotto di la mediana di steel plant. Sottosettore: iron-and-steel. Come steel plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1500°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti siderurgici bruciano carbone in altiforni o utilizzano archi elettrici per fondere rottami; in entrambi i casi, il metallo fuso deve essere mantenuto sopra i 1.500°C e trasferito attraverso estesi tubi e recipienti caldi.
