La Cellulose du Maroc - Sidi Yahia du Gharb Mill — Morocco
Pulp & Paper Mill in Morocco. Approximate location 34.30213, -6.30208.
Pulp & Paper MillMoroccoCO₂ estimate (modelled)
La Cellulose du Maroc - Sidi Yahia du Gharb Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Morocco. Its listed capacity is 5,375 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. It emits about 2,905 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.04% of the CO₂e from the 19 facilities in Morocco that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375602.

In context: how this facility compares
At 5,375 t of pulp & paper, La Cellulose du Maroc - Sidi Yahia du Gharb Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Morocco (5,375 t of pulp & paper). 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.

Local climate
La Cellulose du Maroc - Sidi Yahia du Gharb Mill sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 34.3°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 marine corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1321 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.02× 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.
