Feralpi Siderurgica Lonato steel plant — Italy
Steel Plant in Italy. Approximate location 45.4602, 10.45783.
Steel PlantItalyCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Feralpi Siderurgica Lonato steel plant is a steel plant in Italy. Its listed capacity is 1,216,000 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 Feralpi Siderurgica SpA. By capacity it ranks #5 among 12 steel plants in Italy. It emits about 60,699 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.15% of the CO₂e from the 70 facilities in Italy that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 95% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 1,216,000 t of steel, Feralpi Siderurgica Lonato steel plant is well above the median steel plant in Italy (950,000 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 61k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Feralpi Siderurgica Lonato steel plant carries €5.2M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.
Measured CO₂: 86k t/yr — verified EUTL (reporting year 2023) (41% above the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 61k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).
Carbon price: EU ETS €85/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: measured (EUTL RY2023), cross-checked vs Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
Feralpi Siderurgica Lonato steel plant sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 45.5°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 1374 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.06× 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.
