Gongyi City; Henan aluminium plant — China
Aluminium Smelter in China. Approximate location 34.6992, 113.03911.
Aluminium SmelterChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Gongyi City; Henan aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in China. Its listed capacity is 270,000 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. It is operated by Zhongfu Industry Group. By capacity it ranks #59 among 81 aluminium smelters in China. It emits about 573,787 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.02% of the CO₂e from the 1,485 facilities in China that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3672991.

Local climate
Gongyi City; Henan aluminium plant sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate zone (Köppen Cwa), at 34.7°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1375 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.
