Gubakha Methanol Facility — Russian Federation
Chemical Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 58.8962, 57.56929.
Chemical PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Gubakha Methanol Facility is a chemical plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 308,000 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 Metafrax Chemicals. By capacity it ranks #26 among 35 chemical plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 345,358 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.15% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 22% below the national median for this sector.
