Cement PlantPortugalCO₂ reported

Outao Cement Plant is a cement plant in Portugal with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by SECIL - Companhia Geral de Cal e Cimento SA. By capacity it ranks #3 of 6 cement plants tracked in Portugal. It emits about 835,160 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 194,676 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 2,000,000 t of cement Outao Cement Plant — це приблизно медіана cement plant у Portugal (2,000,000 t of cement). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 19% вище 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.
