Grodna Azot — Belarus
Chemical Plant in Belarus. Approximate location 53.67539, 23.91635.
Chemical PlantBelarusCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Grodna Azot is a chemical plant in Belarus. Its listed capacity is 72,570 t of chemical. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations. It is operated by Government of Belarus. By capacity it ranks #2 among 2 chemical plants in Belarus. It emits about 24,220 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.31% of the CO₂e from the 12 facilities in Belarus that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 77% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257098.

In context: how this facility compares
At 72,570 t of chemical, Grodna Azot is below the median chemical plant in Belarus (886,140 t of chemical). Subsector: chemicals. As chemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 24k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Grodna Azot 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 €1.8M/yr.

Local climate
Grodna Azot sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 53.7°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 humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1435 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.10× 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.
