Achinskiy District — Russian Federation
Aluminium Smelter in Russian Federation. Approximate location 56.2655, 90.59069.
Aluminium SmelterRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Achinskiy District is an aluminium smelter in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 56,276 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. By capacity it ranks #14 among 16 aluminium smelters in Russian Federation. It emits about 79,687 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.03% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 32% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 56,276 t of alumina/aluminum, Achinskiy District is below the median aluminium smelter in Russian Federation (320,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 80k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Achinskiy District carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 80k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €6.0M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
