Unicalce S.P.A. - Stabilimento Di Bernezzo — Italy
Lime Plant in Italy. Approximate location 44.39111, 7.4175.
Lime PlantItalyCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Unicalce S.P.A. - Stabilimento Di Bernezzo is a lime plant in Italy. Its listed capacity is 110,875 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. By capacity it ranks #5 among 5 lime plants in Italy. It emits about 103,361 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.26% of the CO₂e from the 70 facilities in Italy that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 42% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467596.

In context: how this facility compares
At 110,875 t of lime, Unicalce S.P.A. - Stabilimento Di Bernezzo is below the median lime plant in Italy (164,698 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 103k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Unicalce S.P.A. - Stabilimento Di Bernezzo carries €8.8M/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: 110k t/yr — verified EUTL (reporting year 2023) (7% above the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 103k 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
Unicalce S.P.A. - Stabilimento Di Bernezzo sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 44.4°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 1375 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.06× 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.
