Fapajal - Fábrica de Papel do Tojal S.A. Pulp Mill — Portugal
Pulp & Paper Mill in Portugal. Approximate location 38.86038, -9.12635.
Pulp & Paper MillPortugalCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Fapajal - Fábrica de Papel do Tojal S.A. Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Portugal. Its listed capacity is 333,000 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. By capacity it ranks #3 among 6 pulp & paper mills in Portugal. It emits about 180,621 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.2% of the CO₂e from the 29 facilities in Portugal that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375640.

Local climate
Fapajal - Fábrica de Papel do Tojal S.A. Pulp Mill sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 38.9°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 corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with marine corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1339 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.
