Steel Plant in Taiwan. Approximate location 24.31235, 120.71341.

Steel PlantTaiwanCO₂ reported

Feng Hsin Steel Taichung plant is a steel plant in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 1,701,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Feng Hsin Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #3 of 10 steel plants tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 116,394 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 27,131 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 87% below the median steel plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1,701,000 t of steel Feng Hsin Steel Taichung plant — это значительно выше медианная steel plant в Taiwan (1,000,000 t of steel). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 67% ниже медианной steel plant. 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.
