Cement PlantMozambiqueCO₂ reported

Cimentos de Maiaia Nacala Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mozambique with a reported capacity of 250,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cimentos de Maiaia Ltda. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 cement plants tracked in Mozambique. It emits about 100,250 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 23,368 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 250,000 t of cement Cimentos de Maiaia Nacala Cement Plant — це приблизно медіана cement plant у Mozambique (250,000 t of cement). 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.
