Tembo Steels Iganga plant

Tembo Steels Iganga plant is a steel plant in Uganda with a reported capacity of 226,230 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Tembo Steels Uganda Ltd. It emits about 151,894 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 35,407 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% above the median steel plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1567100.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 226,230 t of steel, Tembo Steels Iganga plant è attorno a la mediana di steel plant in Uganda (226,230 t of steel). 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.
