Sokoto Cement Plant

Sokoto Cement Plant is a cement plant in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 12,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by BUA International Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 10 cement plants tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 4,320,860 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,007,193 cars.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在12,500,000 t of cement时，Sokoto Cement Plant是Nigeria中cement plant的中位数远高于 7,339,667 t of cement。 其单位容量的CO₂约为cement plant中位数的低于 5%。 子部门：cement。 作为cement plant，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常800–1400°C）来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量，通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%，将表面冷却至≤45°C，投资回收期通常不到2年。 水泥厂在回转窑中将石灰石加热到1,400°C——是最热的工业过程之一——必须在整个窑长上精确控制温度。

容量和CO₂强度比较从Climate TRACE工业设施数据计算得出；部门角色基于工程参考。
