Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Kishu Mill — Japan

Pulp & Paper Mill in Japan. Approximate location 33.73445, 136.01104.

Pulp & Paper MillJapanCO₂ not individually reported

Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Kishu Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Japan. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. It is operated by Hokuetsu Corp. No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Carbon emissions

No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Kishu Mill; Climate TRACE provides only a pulp & paper mill sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown.

CO₂: Climate TRACE sector-level estimate (not facility-measured).

Local climate

Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Kishu Mill sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 33.7°N in the northern hemisphere.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1356 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.04× 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.

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.
