Gelang Patah Molded Pulp Manufacturing Plant — Malaysia
Pulp & Paper Mill in Malaysia. Approximate location 1.44459, 103.60385.
Pulp & Paper MillMalaysiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Gelang Patah Molded Pulp Manufacturing Plant is a pulp & paper mill in Malaysia. Its listed capacity is 690,000 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 #2 among 2 pulp & paper mills in Malaysia. It emits about 372,892 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.87% of the CO₂e from the 39 facilities in Malaysia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375609.

In context: how this facility compares
At 690,000 t of pulp & paper, Gelang Patah Molded Pulp Manufacturing Plant is around the median pulp & paper mill in Malaysia (690,000 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
Gelang Patah Molded Pulp Manufacturing Plant sits in a tropical rainforest climate zone (Köppen Af), at 1.4°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 humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1231 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.95× 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.
