Pulp & Paper MillAlgeriaCO₂ estimate (modelled)

GIPEC SPA - Baba-Ali Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Algeria. Its listed capacity is 14,000 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. It emits about 7,566 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.04% of the CO₂e from the 29 facilities in Algeria that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

At 14,000 t of pulp & paper, GIPEC SPA - Baba-Ali Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Algeria (14,000 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.
