CHN-Yichun_ammonia — China
Chemical Plant in China. Approximate location 47.79886, 129.19907.
Chemical PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
CHN-Yichun_ammonia is a chemical plant in China. Its listed capacity is 228,828 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. By capacity it ranks #87 among 125 chemical plants in China. It emits about 617,461 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.02% of the CO₂e from the 1,485 facilities in China that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 87% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-33999179.

Local climate
CHN-Yichun_ammonia sits in a monsoon subarctic climate zone (Köppen Dwc), at 47.8°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 benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1492 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. 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.
