Pakistan is a chemical plant in Pakistan. Its listed capacity is 528,900 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. By capacity it ranks #4 among 5 chemical plants in Pakistan. It emits about 174,935 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.32% of the CO₂e from the 55 facilities in Pakistan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 77% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares

At 528,900 t of chemical, Pakistan is around the median chemical plant in Pakistan (635,000 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.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions

At its reported 175k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Pakistan 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 €13.2M/yr.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1238 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.95× 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.
