E Top Metal Changhua plant

Steel Plant in Taiwan. Approximate location 24.16734, 120.50528.

Steel PlantTaiwanCO₂ reported

E Top Metal Changhua plant is a steel plant in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 600,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by E-Top Metal Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #10 of 10 steel plants tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 41,056 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 9,570 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 87% below the median steel plant.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 600,000 t of steel, E Top Metal Changhua plant é abaixo de a mediana de steel plant em Taiwan (1,000,000 t of steel). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 67% abaixo de a mediana de steel plant. Subsetor: iron-and-steel. Como steel plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1500°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As usinas de aço queimam carvão em altos-fornos ou usam arcos elétricos para derreter sucata; em ambos os casos, o metal fundido deve ser mantido acima de 1.500°C e transferido através de tubulações e vasos de calor extensos.
