Braskem Triunfo Commplex, Triunfo,RS — Brazil
Petrochemical in Brazil. Approximate location -29.8738, -51.38704.
PetrochemicalBrazilCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Braskem Triunfo Commplex, Triunfo,RS is a petrochemical plant in Brazil. Its listed capacity is 1,252,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. By capacity it ranks #2 among 4 petrochemical plants in Brazil. It emits about 1,922,240 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.4% of the CO₂e from the 130 facilities in Brazil that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 18% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-732007.

Local climate
Braskem Triunfo Commplex, Triunfo,RS sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 29.9°S in the southern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1301 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.00× 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. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
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.
