Steel Plant in Nigeria. Approximate location 8.45103, 4.53518.

Steel PlantNigeriaCO₂ reported

Kam Industries Kwara steel plant is a steel plant in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 600,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 steel plants tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 69,290 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 16,152 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 79% below the median steel plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 600,000 t of steel Kam Industries Kwara steel plant — це приблизно медіана steel plant у Nigeria (600,000 t of steel). Підсектор: iron-and-steel. Як steel plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 800–1500°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. Сталеливарні заводи спалюють вугілля у доменних печах або використовують електричні дуги для плавлення брухту; в обох випадках розплавлений метал повинен перебувати вище 1500°C і транспортуватися через розширені гарячі трубопроводи та судини.

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