Evraz ZSMK steel plant — Russian Federation
Steel Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 53.88385, 87.26134.
Steel PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Evraz ZSMK steel plant is a steel plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 9,901,000 t of steel. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Evraz ZSMK JSC. By capacity it ranks #4 among 17 steel plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 9,313,053 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.9% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32440965.

In context: how this facility compares
At 9,901,000 t of steel, Evraz ZSMK steel plant is well above the median steel plant in Russian Federation (2,050,000 t of steel). Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 9.3M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Evraz ZSMK steel plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 9.3M t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €702M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
