México — Mexico
Chemical Plant in Mexico. Approximate location 23.93537, -102.57635.
Chemical PlantMexicoCO₂ estimate (modelled)
México is a chemical plant in Mexico. Its listed capacity is 366,936 t of chemical. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations. By capacity it ranks #2 among 3 chemical plants in Mexico. It emits about 127,500 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.31% of the CO₂e from the 62 facilities in Mexico that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 76% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32267413.

In context: how this facility compares
At 366,936 t of chemical, México is around the median chemical plant in Mexico (366,936 t of chemical). Subsector: chemicals. As chemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 128k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), México 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 €9.6M/yr.

Capacity vs largest chemical plants in Mexico
Listed capacity (t of chemical), Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).
Local climate
México sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSk), at 23.9°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 benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1329 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.02× 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.

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.
