Shanxi Gaoyi Steel Co Ltd

Shanxi Gaoyi Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 2,700,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Shanxi Gaoyi Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #136 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 4,188,252 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 976,283 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 187% above the median steel plant.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 2,700,000 t of steel, Shanxi Gaoyi Steel Co Ltd è attorno a la mediana di steel plant in China (2,300,000 t of steel). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 21% al di sopra 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.
