AFV Accaierie Beltrame Vicenza steel plant — Italy

AFV Accaierie Beltrame Vicenza steel plant is a steel plant in Italy. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by AFV Acciaierie Beltrame SpA. It emits about 59,900 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.15% of the CO₂e from the 70 facilities in Italy that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1566894.

Measured and modelled emissions reconciliation

This facility is linked to EUTL ID IT_249 for reporting year 2023. The official source reports 103,128 t CO2; Climate TRACE models 59,900 t CO2e.

Limits of this comparison

• Measured CO2 and modelled CO2e are not identical accounting constructs.
• The crosswalk is an entity match, not proof that reporting boundaries are identical.
• The reporting year is shown explicitly and values are not extrapolated to the current year.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Capacity & CO₂-intensity comparison computed from Climate TRACE industrial facilities data; sector role based on engineering reference.

Local climate

AFV Accaierie Beltrame Vicenza steel plant sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 45.5°N in the northern hemisphere.

Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1369 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
