Viviers le Teil Cement Plant — France
Cement Plant in France. Approximate location 44.52098, 4.68968.
Cement PlantFranceCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Viviers le Teil Cement Plant is a cement plant in France. Its listed capacity is 940,000 t of cement. Cement plants heat limestone to 1,400°C in rotary kilns — one of the hottest industrial processes — and must control temperature precisely across the entire kiln length. It is operated by Lafarge France. By capacity it ranks #4 among 11 cement plants in France. It emits about 198,774 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.38% of the CO₂e from the 117 facilities in France that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 42% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438445.

In context: how this facility compares
At 940,000 t of cement, Viviers le Teil Cement Plant is well above the median cement plant in France (700,000 t of cement). Subsector: cement. As cement plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1400°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Cement plants heat limestone to 1,400°C in rotary kilns — one of the hottest industrial processes — and must control temperature precisely across the entire kiln length.

Local climate
Viviers le Teil Cement Plant sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 44.5°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 1367 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× 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.
