Lhoist Industrie Sa - Site De On — Belgium
Lime Plant in Belgium. Approximate location 50.1649, 5.268.
Lime PlantBelgiumCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Lhoist Industrie Sa - Site De On is a lime plant in Belgium. Its listed capacity is 1,965,685 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. It emits about 419,400 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.9% of the CO₂e from the 22 facilities in Belgium that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 68% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467373.

Local climate
Lhoist Industrie Sa - Site De On sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 50.2°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1409 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.08× 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.
