Other ManufacturingUnited StatesCO₂ estimate (modelled)
OWENSBORO GRAIN CO is a manufacturing plant in United States. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control. It emits about 63,794 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.01% of the CO₂e from the 1,910 facilities in United States that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3193855.

In context: how this facility compares
Subsector: other-manufacturing. As manufacturing plant, it requires high process heat (typically 100–600°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 64k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), OWENSBORO GRAIN CO carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €4.8M/yr.
Measured CO₂: 62k t/yr — verified GHGRP (reporting year 2023) (3% below the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 64k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).
Carbon price: EU CBAM €75/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: measured (GHGRP RY2023), cross-checked vs Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
OWENSBORO GRAIN CO sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 37.8°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 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 1367 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. 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.
