About IndustryAtlas

What this is

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:

• Local climate — WorldClim annual-mean temperature, seasonal swing and Köppen-Geiger zone.
• ISO 9223 atmospheric corrosivity — class (C1–CX) with the dominant stressor (marine chloride, time-of-wetness or thermal cycling) and distance to coast.
• Corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) risk tier — Low / Moderate / High / Very-high, derived from the corrosivity class.
• Climate-adjusted heat loss — bare-surface W/m² and insulated-saving W/m² at a 150 °C reference surface (ASTM C680), plus a climate index relative to a 20 °C baseline.
• Emissions — modelled CO₂e (Climate TRACE) for every facility, cross-checked against a measured EU ETS (EUTL) or US EPA GHGRP value for 711 high-confidence matches.
• Capacity, operator, sector, country and coordinates — from the Climate TRACE backbone.

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.

Open datasets (Zenodo, CC BY 4.0)

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:

• Measured vs modelled CO₂ for industrial facilities — EU ETS (EUTL) and US EPA GHGRP measured emissions matched against Climate TRACE estimates, with match confidence. Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20767361.
• Industrial Surface Heat-Loss & Touch-Safety Reference (ASTM C680) — a reference table of steady-state surface heat loss and outer-surface temperature across 672 geometry / operating-temperature (50–600 °C) / ambient / insulation-thickness combinations, with ISO 13732-1 touch-safety. This is the ASTM C680 method (and the ~95% reduction basis) behind the per-coordinate heat-loss shown on facility pages. Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408.

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.

Methodology & sources

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.
