Cement PlantNigeriaCO₂ reported
Sokoto Cement Plant is a cement plant in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 12,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by BUA International Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 10 cement plants tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 4,320,860 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,007,193 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897568.
На мощности 12,500,000 t of cement Sokoto Cement Plant — это значительно выше медианная cement plant в Nigeria (7,339,667 t of cement). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 5% 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.
