Chemical PlantAustraliaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Australia is a chemical plant in Australia. Its listed capacity is 348,828 t of chemical. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations. It emits about 115,376 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.25% of the CO₂e from the 30 facilities in Australia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 77% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32267422.

In context: how this facility compares
At 348,828 t of chemical, Australia is around the median chemical plant in Australia (348,828 t of chemical). Subsector: chemicals. As chemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 115k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Australia 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 €8.7M/yr.
Carbon price: EU CBAM €75/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.
