Opal Australian Paper - Maryvale Mill
Pulp & Paper Mill in Australia. Approximate location -38.18545, 146.44533.
Pulp & Paper MillAustraliaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Opal Australian Paper - Maryvale Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Australia. Its listed capacity is 325,000 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 emits about 74,484 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.16% of the CO₂e from the 30 facilities in Australia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 58% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375326.

In context: how this facility compares
At 325,000 t of pulp & paper, Opal Australian Paper - Maryvale Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Australia (325,000 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
Opal Australian Paper - Maryvale Mill sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 38.2°S in the southern 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 1363 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× 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.
