Roquette Site De Lestrem — France

Roquette Site De Lestrem is a food & beverage plant in France. Its listed capacity is 14,155,560,921 USD. Food & beverage plants use boilers, cookers, pasteurisers and dryers that run continuously. By capacity it ranks #2 among 20 food & beverage plants in France. It emits about 625,133 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.2% of the CO₂e from the 117 facilities in France that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38480424.

In context: how this facility compares

At 14,155,560,921 USD, Roquette Site De Lestrem is well above the median food & beverage plant in France (3,464,326,903 USD). Subsector: food-beverage-tobacco. As food & beverage plant, it requires high process heat (typically 80–200°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Food & beverage plants use boilers, cookers, pasteurisers and dryers that run continuously.

Local climate

Roquette Site De Lestrem sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 50.6°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 1397 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.07× 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.
