Iguaçu Celulose - Papel S.A. - Unit Piraí do Sul — Brazil
Pulp & Paper Mill in Brazil. Approximate location -24.61361, -49.97139.
Pulp & Paper MillBrazilCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Iguaçu Celulose - Papel S.A. - Unit Piraí do Sul is a pulp & paper mill in Brazil. Its listed capacity is 51,008 t of pulp & paper. 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. By capacity it ranks #19 among 26 pulp & paper mills in Brazil. It emits about 25,747 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.02% of the CO₂e from the 130 facilities in Brazil that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 7% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375370.

Local climate
Iguaçu Celulose - Papel S.A. - Unit Piraí do Sul sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 24.6°S in the southern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1334 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.
