Metals Plant in United States. Approximate location 39.65889, -106.95611.

Metals PlantUnited StatesCO₂ estimate (modelled)

AMERICAN GYPSUM COMPANY is a non-ferrous metals plant in United States. Non-ferrous metals plants melt, refine and cast metals in furnaces and crucibles above their melting points. It emits about 65,720 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.01% of the CO₂e from the 1,910 facilities in United States that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: other-metals. As non-ferrous metals plant, it requires high process heat (typically 400–1200°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Non-ferrous metals plants melt, refine and cast metals in furnaces and crucibles above their melting points.

Equivalencies: US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies. Emissions: Climate TRACE.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions

At its reported 66k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), AMERICAN GYPSUM COMPANY carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €5.0M/yr.

Measured CO₂: 75k t/yr — verified GHGRP (reporting year 2023) (14% above the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 66k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1457 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.12× 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.

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.
