Packages Pulp Mill — Pakistan
Pulp & Paper Mill in Pakistan. Approximate location 31.46951, 74.34984.
Pulp & Paper MillPakistanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Packages Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Pakistan. Its listed capacity is 94,000 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 is operated by Packages Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 among 9 pulp & paper mills in Pakistan. It emits about 50,800 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.09% of the CO₂e from the 55 facilities in Pakistan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375621.

In context: how this facility compares
At 94,000 t of pulp & paper, Packages Pulp Mill is well above the median pulp & paper mill in Pakistan (38,929 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.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 51k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Packages Pulp Mill 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 €3.8M/yr.
Carbon price: EU CBAM €75/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
Packages Pulp Mill sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSh), at 31.5°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 benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion 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.

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.
