PetrochemicalTurkmenistanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Kiyanly Gas Chemical Complex, Kiyanly is a petrochemical plant in Turkmenistan. Its listed capacity is 380,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. It emits about 366,442 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 7.5% of the CO₂e from the 9 facilities in Turkmenistan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 26% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731998.

In context: how this facility compares
At 380,000 t of ethylene, Kiyanly Gas Chemical Complex, Kiyanly is around the median petrochemical plant in Turkmenistan (380,000 t of ethylene). Subsector: petrochemical-steam-cracking. As petrochemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 300–800°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes.

Local climate
Kiyanly Gas Chemical Complex, Kiyanly sits in a cold desert climate zone (Köppen BWk), at 40.2°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 dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1350 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.
