Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Lagunas Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 3,400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cooperativa La Cruz Azul SCL. By capacity it ranks #2 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 434,018 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 101,170 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 65% below the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 3,400,000 t of cement Lagunas Cement Plant — це значно вище медіана cement plant у Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 52% 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.
