Puertollano Fertilizers — Spain
Chemical Plant in Spain. Approximate location 38.66396, -4.05845.
Chemical PlantSpainCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Puertollano Fertilizers is a chemical plant in Spain. 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 Fertiberia SA. It emits about 346,500 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.73% of the CO₂e from the 91 facilities in Spain that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257169.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 346k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Puertollano Fertilizers carries €29.6M/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.

Local climate
Puertollano Fertilizers sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 38.7°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1351 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.04× 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.
