Novorossiysk rolling plant — Russian Federation
Steel Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 47.75477, 40.17836.
Steel PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Novorossiysk rolling plant is a steel plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 730,000 t of steel. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Novorossiysk Rolling Plant LLC. By capacity it ranks #14 among 17 steel plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 42,991 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.02% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 94% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 730,000 t of steel, Novorossiysk rolling plant is below the median steel plant in Russian Federation (2,050,000 t of steel). Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 43k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Novorossiysk rolling plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 43k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €3.2M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Local climate
Novorossiysk rolling plant sits in a hot-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfa), at 47.8°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 a mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1419 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.09× 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.
