Cement PlantColombiaCO₂ reported
Cartagena Cement Plant is a cement plant in Colombia with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Argos SA. By capacity it ranks #4 of 14 cement plants tracked in Colombia. It emits about 467,462 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 108,966 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896568.
На мощности 2,000,000 t of cement Cartagena Cement Plant — это значительно выше медианная cement plant в Colombia (1,095,000 t of cement). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 25% ниже медианной cement plant. Подсектор: cement. Как cement plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 800–1400°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. Цементные заводы нагревают известняк до 1400°C во вращающихся печах — один из самых горячих промышленных процессов — и должны точно контролировать температуру по всей длине печи.
Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
