Yudu County Jinpen Lime Factory — China
Lime Plant in China. Approximate location 25.82684, 115.46731.
Lime PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Yudu County Jinpen Lime Factory is a lime plant in China. Its listed capacity is 28,800 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 #79 among 94 lime plants in China. It emits about 18,964 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467407.

In context: how this facility compares
At 28,800 t of lime, Yudu County Jinpen Lime Factory is below the median lime plant in China (220,000 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.

Local climate
Yudu County Jinpen Lime Factory sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 25.8°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 1309 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× 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.
