Steel Plant in Türkiye. Approximate location 36.78141, 36.20565.

Steel PlantTürkiyeCO₂ reported

MMK Türkiye Metallurgical Payas plant is a steel plant in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 2,500,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by MMK Metalurji Sanayi Ticaret ve Liman Isletmeciligi AŞ. By capacity it ranks #8 of 26 steel plants tracked in Türkiye. It emits about 788,516 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 183,803 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% below the median steel plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 2,500,000 t of steel MMK Türkiye Metallurgical Payas plant — это значительно выше медианная steel plant в Türkiye (1,400,000 t of steel). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 238% выше 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.
