Panki Fertilizer Complex — India
Chemical Plant in India. Approximate location 26.48132, 80.11815.
Chemical PlantIndiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Panki Fertilizer Complex is a chemical plant in India. Its listed capacity is 499,950 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. It is operated by Kanpur Fertilizers & Cement Ltd. By capacity it ranks #10 among 22 chemical plants in India. It emits about 1,243,037 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.25% of the CO₂e from the 297 facilities in India that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 73% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257161.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 1.2M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Panki Fertilizer Complex 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 €93.7M/yr.

Local climate
Panki Fertilizer Complex sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 26.5°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 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 1243 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.96× 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.
