Modern Laminates Pulp Mill — Uganda
Pulp & Paper Mill in Uganda. Approximate location 0.42729, 33.16964.
Pulp & Paper MillUgandaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Modern Laminates Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Uganda. Its listed capacity is 73,000 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. It emits about 39,451 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.3% of the CO₂e from the 4 facilities in Uganda that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375668.

In context: how this facility compares
At 73,000 t of pulp & paper, Modern Laminates Pulp Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Uganda (73,000 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 39k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Modern Laminates Pulp Mill 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.

Local climate
Modern Laminates Pulp Mill sits in a tropical rainforest climate zone (Köppen Af), at 0.4°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 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 1279 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.

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.
