In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: other-chemicals. As chemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations.

What 50,565 t CO₂e a year looks like

This facility's estimated annual CO₂e (Climate TRACE, modelled) in everyday equivalents from the US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies calculator:

923million cubic feet of natural gas burned
11khomes' electricity use for a year
51kacres of US forest absorbing CO₂ for a year

Equivalencies: US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies. Emissions: Climate TRACE.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions

At its reported 51k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Kraton Chemical, LLC carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €3.8M/yr.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1307 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.00× 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.
