Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant — United States
Lime Plant in United States. Approximate location 36.747, -121.60534.
Lime PlantUnited StatesCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant is a lime plant in United States. Its listed capacity is 51,155 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. By capacity it ranks #64 among 75 lime plants in United States. It emits about 63,039 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.01% of the CO₂e from the 1,910 facilities in United States that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 87% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38468877.

In context: how this facility compares
At 51,155 t of lime, Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant is below the median lime plant in United States (208,805 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

Local climate
Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csb), at 36.7°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 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 1360 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× 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.
