Ninh Binh Fertilizer Complex — Vietnam

Ninh Binh Fertilizer Complex is a chemical plant in Vietnam. Its listed capacity is 508,020 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 Vietnam National Chemical Group. By capacity it ranks #1 among 4 chemical plants in Vietnam. It emits about 1,114,312 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.4% of the CO₂e from the 90 facilities in Vietnam that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 52% above the national median for this sector.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257153.

In context: how this facility compares

At 508,020 t of chemical, Ninh Binh Fertilizer Complex is well above the median chemical plant in Vietnam (172,392 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.

Local climate

Ninh Binh Fertilizer Complex sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate zone (Köppen Cwa), at 20.2°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 1262 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.97× 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.
