Zheijiang Huadong aluminium plant — China
Aluminium Smelter in China. Approximate location 29.09903, 119.31201.
Aluminium SmelterChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Zheijiang Huadong aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in China. Its listed capacity is 70,000 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. By capacity it ranks #78 among 81 aluminium smelters in China. It emits about 127,857 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 13% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 70,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Zheijiang Huadong aluminium plant is below the median aluminium smelter in China (450,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 128k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Zheijiang Huadong aluminium plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 128k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €9.6M/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).

Local climate
Zheijiang Huadong aluminium plant sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 29.1°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 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 1340 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
