Cement PlantGermanyCO₂ reported
Wittekind Erwitte Cement Plant is a cement plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Portlandzementwerk Wittekind Hugo Miebach Soehne KG. By capacity it ranks #11 of 32 cement plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 639,531 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 149,075 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 78% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438324.
На мощности 1,000,000 t of cement Wittekind Erwitte Cement Plant — это примерно медианная cement plant в Germany (1,000,000 t of cement). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 102% выше 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.
