Hejin Xian aluminium plant — China
Aluminium Smelter in China. Approximate location 35.59796, 110.71245.
Aluminium SmelterChinaCO₂ not individually reported
Hejin Xian aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in China. 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 China Hongqiao Group Ltd. No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.

In context: how this facility compares
Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. 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.

Carbon emissions
No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Hejin Xian aluminium plant; Climate TRACE provides only a aluminium smelter sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown. 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
Hejin Xian aluminium plant sits in a monsoon hot-summer continental climate zone (Köppen Dwa), at 35.6°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 1366 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× 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.
