Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Chongqing Plant) Pulp Mill — China
Pulp & Paper Mill in China. Approximate location 29.34328, 106.42754.
Pulp & Paper MillChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Chongqing Plant) Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in China. Its listed capacity is 710,000 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 #3 among 10 pulp & paper mills in China. It emits about 383,701 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.01% of the CO₂e from the 1,485 facilities in China that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375443.

In context: how this facility compares
At 710,000 t of pulp & paper, Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Chongqing Plant) Pulp Mill is well above the median pulp & paper mill in China (536,100 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.

Local climate
Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Chongqing Plant) Pulp Mill sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 29.3°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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1318 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.
