Steel Plant in Ukraine. Approximate location 47.14028, 37.59434.

Steel PlantUkraineCO₂ reported

Metinvest Ilyich Iron and Steel Works is a steel plant in Ukraine with a reported capacity of 4,299,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Mariupolskyi Metalurgiinyi Kombinat Imeni Illicha PRAT. By capacity it ranks #2 of 10 steel plants tracked in Ukraine. It emits about 1,776,867 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 414,188 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 23% below the median steel plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 4,299,000 t of steel Metinvest Ilyich Iron and Steel Works — это значительно выше медианная steel plant в Ukraine (3,300,000 t of steel). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 33% 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.
