Dunacell Kft. Pulp Mill — Hungary
Pulp & Paper Mill in Hungary. Approximate location 46.92718, 18.93654.
Pulp & Paper MillHungaryCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Dunacell Kft. Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Hungary. Its listed capacity is 25,802 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. It emits about 13,944 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.19% of the CO₂e from the 16 facilities in Hungary that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375551.

In context: how this facility compares
At 25,802 t of pulp & paper, Dunacell Kft. Pulp Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Hungary (25,802 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.

Local climate
Dunacell Kft. Pulp Mill sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 46.9°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1391 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.

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.
