Metallurgical Plant Kametstal — Ukraine
Steel Plant in Ukraine. Approximate location 48.52489, 34.63258.
Steel PlantUkraineCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Metallurgical Plant Kametstal is a steel plant in Ukraine. Its listed capacity is 3,500,000 t of steel. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Kamet-Steel PrJSC. By capacity it ranks #4 among 8 steel plants in Ukraine. It emits about 2,405,331 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 9.5% of the CO₂e from the 25 facilities in Ukraine that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 26% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 3,500,000 t of steel, Metallurgical Plant Kametstal is around the median steel plant in Ukraine (3,500,000 t of steel). Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 2.4M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Metallurgical Plant Kametstal carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 2.4M t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €181M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Local climate
Metallurgical Plant Kametstal sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 48.5°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 thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1414 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.09× 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.
