IndustryAtlas is an open directory of industrial facilities — capacity, emissions and per-site climate context — published by Inzonex Research, the open-data programme of Inzonex. This page covers what the data is, where it comes from, the open datasets behind it, and how to cite them.
Each entry is one industrial facility from the Climate TRACE backbone — name, sector, country, coordinates, production capacity, owner and an annual CO₂e figure. Coverage spans 29,681 facilities in 165 countries across 12 sectors (refineries, petrochemicals, chemicals, cement, lime, steel, aluminium, non-ferrous metals, pulp & paper, food & beverage, textiles and other heavy manufacturing).
Provenance — measured vs modelled. The CO₂e figure is a modelled Climate TRACE estimate for almost every facility. For 711 high-confidence sites — about 2% of those that carry a CO₂ figure — it is cross-checked against a measured value from the EU Emissions Trading System (EUTL) or US EPA GHGRP, and that facility page states the delta against the modelled estimate. Capacity is as reported by Climate TRACE. CO₂-intensity, human-scale equivalents and the per-coordinate heat-loss / ISO 9223 figures are clearly labelled derived — computed from the open datasets below, not facility measurements.
What we compute for each facility — from its coordinates and the open datasets below:
The climate / CUI / heat-loss layer is present on 29,444 of 29,681 facility pages (99%); the remainder carry the backbone fields. All heat-loss / corrosivity figures are indicative reference-surface values (150 °C, ASTM C680 + WorldClim), not per-equipment measurements.
The data behind IndustryAtlas is published openly so engineers, researchers and AI systems can verify it — created by Dmytro Aheiev (ORCID 0009-0001-5512-0291), published by Inzonex Research:
Facility pages show a per-coordinate, climate-adjusted heat-loss index derived from the ASTM C680 method above (150 °C reference surface; ~95% reduction with adequate mineral wool); the ISO 9223 corrosivity context is derived separately from WorldClim normals. Both are indicative reference-surface figures, not per-equipment measurements. CAD geometry and product engineering remain proprietary; the datasets above are openly licensed.
Every figure is computed directly from the open datasets above and the cited backbone sources — capacity and CO₂e from Climate TRACE, climate from offline WorldClim normals and Köppen-Geiger zones, equivalencies from the US EPA calculator. Rankings are sorted server-side from the same data; nothing is editorialised. The full source list, refresh policy and correction process are on the data sources & correction policy page.
