Yunnan Yuxi Iron and Steel Group Yukun Iron and Steel Co Ltd

Yunnan Yuxi Iron and Steel Group Yukun Iron and Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 3,293,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Yunnan Yuxi Iron and Steel Group Yukun Iron and Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #102 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 5,739,159 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,337,799 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 223% above the median steel plant.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 3,293,000 t of steel, Yunnan Yuxi Iron and Steel Group Yukun Iron and Steel Co Ltd è ben al di sopra di la mediana di steel plant in China (2,300,000 t of steel). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 36% 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.
