Boyle Kraft Pulp Mill — Canada
Pulp & Paper Mill in Canada. Approximate location 54.92351, -112.86414.
Pulp & Paper MillCanadaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Boyle Kraft Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Canada. Its listed capacity is 278,540 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. By capacity it ranks #1 among 21 pulp & paper mills in Canada. It emits about 150,530 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.21% of the CO₂e from the 127 facilities in Canada that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375408.

In context: how this facility compares
At 278,540 t of pulp & paper, Boyle Kraft Pulp Mill is well above the median pulp & paper mill in Canada (175,805 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 151k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Boyle Kraft Pulp Mill 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 €11.3M/yr.

Local climate
Boyle Kraft Pulp Mill sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate zone (Köppen Dfc), at 54.9°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1489 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.15× 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.
