Promsort Kaluga steel plant — Russian Federation
Steel Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 55.23449, 36.67738.
Steel PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Promsort Kaluga steel plant is a steel plant in Russian Federation. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Promsort LLC. It emits about 88,338 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.04% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1567022.

In context: how this facility compares
Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 88k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Promsort Kaluga steel plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 88k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €6.7M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
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.
