Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Tianjin Plant) Pulp Mill — China

Pulp & Paper Mill in China. Approximate location 39.33091, 117.82478.

Pulp & Paper MillChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Nine Dragons Paper Ind. (Tianjin Plant) Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in China. 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. It emits about 54,042 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE.

In context: how this facility compares

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.
