Seydisehir aluminium plant — Türkiye
Aluminium Smelter in Türkiye. Approximate location 37.44487, 31.8442.
Aluminium SmelterTürkiyeCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Seydisehir aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Türkiye. Its listed capacity is 75,000 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. It is operated by Eti Alüminyum Inc. It emits about 145,010 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.18% of the CO₂e from the 94 facilities in Türkiye that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 7% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 75,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Seydisehir aluminium plant is around the median aluminium smelter in Türkiye (75,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 145k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Seydisehir aluminium plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 145k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €10.9M/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).

Local climate
Seydisehir aluminium plant sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csb), at 37.4°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 1317 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× 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.

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.
