Cargill Benelux Bv — Netherlands

Cargill Benelux Bv is a food & beverage plant in Netherlands. Its listed capacity is 5,498,683,787 USD. Food & beverage plants use boilers, cookers, pasteurisers and dryers that run continuously. By capacity it ranks #2 among 8 food & beverage plants in Netherlands. It emits about 262,340 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.72% of the CO₂e from the 25 facilities in Netherlands that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38480671.

In context: how this facility compares

At 5,498,683,787 USD, Cargill Benelux Bv is well above the median food & beverage plant in Netherlands (3,106,126,720 USD). Subsector: food-beverage-tobacco. As food & beverage plant, it requires high process heat (typically 80–200°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Food & beverage plants use boilers, cookers, pasteurisers and dryers that run continuously.

Local climate

Cargill Benelux Bv sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 51.2°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 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 1395 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.07× 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.
