IDN-Bontang_methanol — Indonesia
Chemical Plant in Indonesia. Approximate location 0.09024, 117.56907.
Chemical PlantIndonesiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
IDN-Bontang_methanol is a chemical plant in Indonesia. Its listed capacity is 714,408 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 emits about 238,434 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.33% of the CO₂e from the 53 facilities in Indonesia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 77% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-33999230.

Local climate
IDN-Bontang_methanol sits in a tropical rainforest climate zone (Köppen Af), at 0.1°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 an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1219 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.94× 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.
