Chemical Plant in China. Approximate location 29.06467, 113.25494.
Chemical PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
CHN-Yueyang_ammonia is a chemical plant in China. Its listed capacity is 1,388,232 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 #25 among 125 chemical plants in China. It emits about 3,745,952 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.14% 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-33999249.

Local climate
CHN-Yueyang_ammonia sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 29.1°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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1328 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.02× 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.
