Capitan Bermudez Pulp and Paper is a pulp & paper mill in Argentina. Its listed capacity is 253,000 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 #2 among 3 pulp & paper mills in Argentina. It emits about 136,727 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.65% of the CO₂e from the 33 facilities in Argentina that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

At 253,000 t of pulp & paper, Capitan Bermudez Pulp and Paper is around the median pulp & paper mill in Argentina (253,000 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.
