ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant

ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant is a steel plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 4,200,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ArcelorMittal España SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 14 steel plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 3,891,500 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 907,110 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 72% above the median steel plant.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

4,200,000 t of steel'de, ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant Spain'daki steel plant'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 1,200,000 t of steel'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si steel plant'nin medyanı üstünde kabaca 1683%'dir. Alt sektör: iron-and-steel. steel plant olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 800–1500°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Çelik fabrikaları yüksek ocaklarda kömür yakar veya hurda ergitmek için elektrik ark kullanır; her iki durumda da eritilmiş metal 1.500°C'nin üstünde tutulmalı ve geniş sıcak borular ve kaplar aracılığıyla aktarılmalıdır.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
