Lusical, Companhia Lusitana De Cal Sa (Ci) — Portugal
Lime Plant in Portugal. Approximate location 39.44757, -8.84746.
Lime PlantPortugalCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Lusical, Companhia Lusitana De Cal Sa (Ci) is a lime plant in Portugal. Its listed capacity is 538,759 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 #4 among 5 lime plants in Portugal. It emits about 354,754 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 2.4% of the CO₂e from the 29 facilities in Portugal that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467718.

Local climate
Lusical, Companhia Lusitana De Cal Sa (Ci) sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 39.4°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 1340 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
