Graymont Ltd. Green Bay Brown — Australia
Lime Plant in Australia. Approximate location -27.45983, 153.04386.
Lime PlantAustraliaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Graymont Ltd. Green Bay Brown is a lime plant in Australia. Its listed capacity is 178,599 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. It emits about 220,597 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.49% of the CO₂e from the 30 facilities in Australia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 88% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38468954.

In context: how this facility compares
At 178,599 t of lime, Graymont Ltd. Green Bay Brown is around the median lime plant in Australia (178,599 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 221k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Graymont Ltd. Green Bay Brown carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €16.6M/yr.

Local climate
Graymont Ltd. Green Bay Brown sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 27.5°S in the southern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1298 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.00× 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.
