Boguchany aluminium plant — Russian Federation
Aluminium Smelter in Russian Federation. Approximate location 58.00485, 97.38398.
Aluminium SmelterRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Boguchany aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Russian Federation. 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. It is operated by United Company RUSAL PJSC. It emits about 682,525 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.29% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares
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 683k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Boguchany aluminium plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 683k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €51.4M/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).
