Guangshui Huaxin Metallurgical Industry Co Ltd — China
Steel Plant in China. Approximate location 31.50118, 114.00689.
Steel PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Guangshui Huaxin Metallurgical Industry Co Ltd is a steel plant in China. Its listed capacity is 869,000 t of steel. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Guangshui Huaxin Smelt Industry Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #150 among 164 steel plants in China. It emits about 190,831 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 76% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32440498.

In context: how this facility compares
At 869,000 t of steel, Guangshui Huaxin Metallurgical Industry Co Ltd is below the median steel plant in China (3,428,000 t of steel). Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 191k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Guangshui Huaxin Metallurgical Industry Co Ltd carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 191k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €14.4M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Local climate
Guangshui Huaxin Metallurgical Industry Co Ltd sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 31.5°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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1339 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
