Steel PlantItalyCO₂ reported
Alfa Acciai Catania steel plant is a steel plant in Italy with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Acciaierie di Sicilia SpA. By capacity it ranks #22 of 22 steel plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 24,959 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 5,818 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 91% below the median steel plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1566906.
На мощности 500,000 t of steel Alfa Acciai Catania steel plant — это ниже медианная steel plant в Italy (900,000 t of steel). Подсектор: iron-and-steel. Как steel plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 800–1500°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Сталелитейные заводы сжигают уголь в доменных печах или используют электрические дуги для плавления лома; в обоих случаях расплавленный металл должен находиться выше 1500°C и транспортироваться через обширные горячие трубопроводы и сосуды.
Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
