Pulp & Paper MillMalaysiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Nine Dragons Paper Holdings Limited - Malaysia Bases is a pulp & paper mill in Malaysia. Its listed capacity is 690,000 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 is operated by Dongguan Nine Dragons Paper Industries Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 pulp & paper mills in Malaysia. It emits about 372,892 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.87% of the CO₂e from the 39 facilities in Malaysia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375608.

Local climate
Nine Dragons Paper Holdings Limited - Malaysia Bases sits in a tropical rainforest climate zone (Köppen Af), at 2.8°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 1231 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.95× 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.
