Cement PlantCubaCO₂ reported

Taguasco Cement Plant is a cement plant in Cuba with a reported capacity of 150,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Corporación de Cementos Cubanos. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 cement plants tracked in Cuba. It emits about 90,866 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 21,181 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 68% above the median cement plant.

文脈内で:この施設がどのように比較されるか

150,000 t of cementで、Taguasco Cement PlantはCubaのcement plantの中央値以下 1,000,000 t of cementです。 容量あたりのCO₂は、cement plantの中央値上約66%です。 サブセクター:cement。 cement plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱(通常800–1400°C)が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80~96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 セメント工場は回転キルンでセメント石を1,400°Cに加熱します。最も高温の産業プロセスの1つであり、キルン全体の温度を正確に制御する必要があります。
