Volzhsky Pipe Plant — Russian Federation
Steel Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 48.79427, 44.83054.
Steel PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Volzhsky Pipe Plant is a steel plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 900,000 t of steel. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels. It is operated by Volzhskiy Trubnyi Zavod JSC. By capacity it ranks #12 among 17 steel plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 179,331 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.08% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 79% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 900,000 t of steel, Volzhsky Pipe Plant is below the median steel plant in Russian Federation (2,050,000 t of steel). Subsector: iron-and-steel. As steel plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1500°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Steel plants burn coal in blast furnaces or use electric arcs to melt scrap; in both cases the molten metal must be kept above 1,500°C and transferred through extensive hot piping and vessels.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 179k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Volzhsky Pipe Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 179k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €13.5M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
