Tembo Steels Iganga plant

Tembo Steels Iganga plant is a steel plant in Uganda with a reported capacity of 226,230 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Tembo Steels Uganda Ltd. It emits about 151,894 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 35,407 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% above the median steel plant.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在226,230 t of steel时，Tembo Steels Iganga plant是Uganda中steel plant的中位数约 226,230 t of steel。 子部门：iron-and-steel。 作为steel plant，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常800–1500°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。 钢铁厂在高炉中燃烧煤炭或使用电弧熔化废料；在两种情况下，熔融金属都必须保持在1,500°C以上并通过广泛的热管和容器转移。

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。
