Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Osaka Mill — Japan
Pulp & Paper Mill in Japan. Approximate location 34.74798, 135.50339.
Pulp & Paper MillJapanCO₂ not individually reported
Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Osaka 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.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375597.

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.
Capacity & CO₂-intensity comparison computed from Climate TRACE industrial facilities data; sector role based on engineering reference.
Carbon emissions
No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Osaka 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.

Local climate
Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. Ltd - Osaka Mill sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 34.7°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 corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1338 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.
