Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co Ltd — China
Steel Plant in China. Approximate location 21.96256, 113.19665.
Steel PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China. Its listed capacity is 3,051,000 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 Zhuhai Yueyufeng IRON&STEEL Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #96 among 164 steel plants in China. It emits about 5,022,268 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.19% of the CO₂e from the 1,485 facilities in China that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 77% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1566500.

In context: how this facility compares
At 3,051,000 t of steel, Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co Ltd is around the median steel plant in China (3,428,000 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 5.0M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co Ltd carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 5.0M t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €378M/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
Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co Ltd sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate zone (Köppen Cwa), at 22.0°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 an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1278 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.98× 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.
