Usine De Bedford — Canada
Lime Plant in Canada. Approximate location 45.1123, -73.0129.
Lime PlantCanadaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Usine De Bedford is a lime plant in Canada. Its listed capacity is 729,857 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 #2 among 11 lime plants in Canada. It emits about 410,189 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.58% of the CO₂e from the 127 facilities in Canada that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 15% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467322.

In context: how this facility compares
At 729,857 t of lime, Usine De Bedford is well above the median lime plant in Canada (231,971 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 410k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Usine De Bedford carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €30.9M/yr.

Local climate
Usine De Bedford sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 45.1°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1442 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.11× 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.
