Premier Periclase Limited — Ireland
Lime Plant in Ireland. Approximate location 53.72206, -6.31823.
Lime PlantIrelandCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Premier Periclase Limited is a lime plant in Ireland. Its listed capacity is 565,936 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. It emits about 173,206 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.4% of the CO₂e from the 8 facilities in Ireland that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 54% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467592.

In context: how this facility compares
At 565,936 t of lime, Premier Periclase Limited is around the median lime plant in Ireland (565,936 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 173k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Premier Periclase Limited carries €14.8M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.
Carbon price: EU ETS €85/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
Premier Periclase Limited sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 53.7°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 corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with marine corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1405 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.08× 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.
