Petrochemical in Belgium. Approximate location 51.2548, 4.33205.
PetrochemicalBelgiumCO₂ estimate (modelled)
TotalEnergies Fina Antwerp Olefin, Antwerp is a petrochemical plant in Belgium. Its listed capacity is 1,160,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. It is operated by TotalEnergies SE. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 petrochemical plants in Belgium. It emits about 1,454,499 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 6.6% of the CO₂e from the 22 facilities in Belgium that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648343.

In context: how this facility compares
At 1,160,000 t of ethylene, TotalEnergies Fina Antwerp Olefin, Antwerp is around the median petrochemical plant in Belgium (1,160,000 t of ethylene). Subsector: petrochemical-steam-cracking. As petrochemical plant, it requires high process heat (typically 300–800°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 1.5M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), TotalEnergies Fina Antwerp Olefin, Antwerp carries €124M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.
Measured CO₂: 691k t/yr — verified EUTL (reporting year 2023) (53% below the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 1.5M t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).
Carbon price: EU ETS €85/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: measured (EUTL RY2023), cross-checked vs Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
TotalEnergies Fina Antwerp Olefin, Antwerp sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 51.3°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 1394 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.
