Steel PlantSouth KoreaCO₂ reported

KG Steel Incheon steel plant is a steel plant in South Korea with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by KG Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #13 of 16 steel plants tracked in South Korea. It emits about 199,077 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 46,405 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 63% below the median steel plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,000,000 t of steel, KG Steel Incheon steel plant jest poniżej medianę steel plant w South Korea (2,101,000 t of steel). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 238% powyżej medianę steel plant. Podsektor: iron-and-steel. Jako steel plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 800–1500°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Huty stali spalają węgiel w piecach wielkich lub używają łuków elektrycznych do topienia złomu; w obu przypadkach metal w stanie płynnym musi być utrzymywany powyżej 1.500°C i przenoszony przez rozległy system gorących rur i zbiorników.
