Chongqing Dingchengda Building Materials Co., Ltd. — China
Lime Plant in China. Approximate location 28.99682, 106.85303.
Lime PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Chongqing Dingchengda Building Materials Co., Ltd. is a lime plant in China. Its listed capacity is 550,000 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. By capacity it ranks #23 among 94 lime plants in China. It emits about 362,156 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.01% of the CO₂e from the 1,485 facilities in China that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467566.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 362k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Chongqing Dingchengda Building Materials Co., Ltd. carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €27.3M/yr.

Local climate
Chongqing Dingchengda Building Materials Co., Ltd. sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 29.0°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 1338 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
