Shizuoka City — Japan
Aluminium Smelter in Japan. Approximate location 35.13784, 138.36325.
Aluminium SmelterJapanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Shizuoka City is an aluminium smelter in Japan. Its listed capacity is 66,643 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. By capacity it ranks #2 among 2 aluminium smelters in Japan. It emits about 139,266 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.09% of the CO₂e from the 105 facilities in Japan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares
At 66,643 t of alumina/aluminum, Shizuoka City is below the median aluminium smelter in Japan (381,020 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 139k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Shizuoka City carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 139k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €10.5M/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
Shizuoka City sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 35.1°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 corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1341 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
