Longyan City Yongding District Baiyan Building Materials Co., Ltd. — Hong Kong
Lime Plant in Hong Kong. Approximate location 22.34761, 114.20989.
Lime PlantHong KongCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Longyan City Yongding District Baiyan Building Materials Co., Ltd. is a lime plant in Hong Kong. Its listed capacity is 60,000 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 39,508 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.6% of the CO₂e from the 2 facilities in Hong Kong that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467800.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 40k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Longyan City Yongding District Baiyan Building Materials Co., Ltd. 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 €3.0M/yr.
Carbon price: EU CBAM €75/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.
Local climate
Longyan City Yongding District Baiyan Building Materials Co., Ltd. sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate zone (Köppen Cwa), at 22.3°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 an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1277 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.98× 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.
