Repsol SA , Puertollano — Spain
Petrochemical in Spain. Approximate location 38.6705, -4.05431.
PetrochemicalSpainCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Repsol SA , Puertollano is a petrochemical plant in Spain. Its listed capacity is 102,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. By capacity it ranks #3 among 3 petrochemical plants in Spain. It emits about 127,896 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.27% 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-18648373.

In context: how this facility compares
At 102,000 t of ethylene, Repsol SA , Puertollano is below the median petrochemical plant in Spain (675,000 t of ethylene). Subsector: petrochemical-steam-cracking. As petrochemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 300–800°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes.

Local climate
Repsol SA , Puertollano 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.
