Shchekino Chemical Complex — Russian Federation
Chemical Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 53.991, 37.60062.
Chemical PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Shchekino Chemical Complex is a chemical plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 340,000 t of chemical. 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 Shchekinoazot. By capacity it ranks #24 among 35 chemical plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 381,239 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.16% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 22% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257179.
