Mount Shahar - Asphalt — Israel

Mount Shahar - Asphalt is a manufacturing plant in Israel. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control. It emits about 4,039 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.06% of the CO₂e from the 91 facilities in Israel that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3193753.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: other-manufacturing. As manufacturing plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–600°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control.

Capacity & CO₂-intensity comparison computed from Climate TRACE industrial facilities data; sector role based on engineering reference.

What 4,039 t CO₂e a year looks like

Local climate

Mount Shahar - Asphalt sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSh), at 31.0°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 1314 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× 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.
