Brandon Fertilizer Facility — Canada
Chemical Plant in Canada. Approximate location 49.8327, -99.90658.
Chemical PlantCanadaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Brandon Fertilizer Facility is a chemical plant in Canada. Its listed capacity is 550,000 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 is operated by Koch Fertilizer Canada ULC. By capacity it ranks #4 among 9 chemical plants in Canada. It emits about 721,833 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.0% of the CO₂e from the 127 facilities in Canada that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 9% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257048.

Local climate
Brandon Fertilizer Facility sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 49.8°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 1473 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.13× 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.
