Navoi Chemical Complex — Uzbekistan
Chemical Plant in Uzbekistan. Approximate location 40.10991, 65.33605.
Chemical PlantUzbekistanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Navoi Chemical Complex is a chemical plant in Uzbekistan. Its listed capacity is 598,740 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. It is operated by Navoiazot JSC. By capacity it ranks #1 among 3 chemical plants in Uzbekistan. It emits about 1,215,865 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 9.7% of the CO₂e from the 27 facilities in Uzbekistan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 41% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257148.

In context: how this facility compares
At 598,740 t of chemical, Navoi Chemical Complex is well above the median chemical plant in Uzbekistan (272,160 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 1.2M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Navoi Chemical Complex 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 €91.6M/yr.
Carbon price: EU CBAM €75/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
Navoi Chemical Complex sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSk), at 40.1°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 1354 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.04× 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.
