Svietlogorsk Pulp and Board Mill — Belarus
Pulp & Paper Mill in Belarus. Approximate location 52.61707, 29.77977.
Pulp & Paper MillBelarusCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Svietlogorsk Pulp and Board Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Belarus. Its listed capacity is 156,424 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 pulp & paper mills in Belarus. It emits about 84,536 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.1% of the CO₂e from the 12 facilities in Belarus that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375337.

In context: how this facility compares
At 156,424 t of pulp & paper, Svietlogorsk Pulp and Board Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Belarus (156,424 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Local climate
Svietlogorsk Pulp and Board Mill sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 52.6°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 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 1435 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.10× 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.
