Valley Minerals — United States
Lime Plant in United States. Approximate location 37.88913, -90.53011.
Lime PlantUnited StatesCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Valley Minerals is a lime plant in United States. Its listed capacity is 118,549 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 #56 among 75 lime plants in United States. It emits about 146,693 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.03% of the CO₂e from the 1,910 facilities in United States that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 88% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 118,549 t of lime, Valley Minerals is below the median lime plant in United States (208,805 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 147k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Valley Minerals 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 €11.1M/yr.

Local climate
Valley Minerals sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 37.9°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 1374 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.

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.
