Cement PlantSpainCO₂ reported

Añorga Cement Plant is a cement plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 1,050,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials Hispania Cementos SA. By capacity it ranks #20 of 29 cement plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 230,143 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 53,646 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 39% below the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,050,000 t of cement Añorga Cement Plant — це нижче медіана cement plant у Spain (1,361,000 t of cement). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 24% нижче медіани cement plant. Підсектор: cement. Як cement plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 800–1400°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Цементні заводи нагрівають вапняк до 1400°C у обертових печах — один із найгарячіших промислових процесів — і повинні точно контролювати температуру по всій довжині печі.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
