Lista aluminium plant — Norway
Aluminium Smelter in Norway. Approximate location 58.0726, 6.78316.
Aluminium SmelterNorwayCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Lista aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Norway. Its listed capacity is 64,000 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. It is operated by Alcoa Norway. By capacity it ranks #4 among 4 aluminium smelters in Norway. It emits about 138,415 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.96% of the CO₂e from the 46 facilities in Norway that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares
At 64,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Lista aluminium plant is below the median aluminium smelter in Norway (204,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 138k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Lista aluminium plant carries €11.8M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.

Local climate
Lista aluminium plant sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 58.1°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 humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1430 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.10× 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.
