Fertilizer and cement exports to the EU are CBAM-liable — Egypt is among the top-10 exposed exporters.
No carbon price; voluntary market framework only.
If this CO2 were embedded in EU-bound exports, the CBAM certificate bill at €75.36/t would be:
| Facility | Sector | t CO2/yr (est. 2023) | Gross value (full) |
|---|---|---|---|
| National Cement New Beni Suef Cement Plant | 4,345,506 | €327.5M | |
| Lafarge Attaka Cement Plant | 4,073,231 | €307.0M | |
| Abu Qir Fertilizer Complex | 3,605,693 | €271.7M | |
| Damietta Fertilizers Complex | 3,277,903 | €247.0M | |
| Borg El Arab Cement Plant | 2,975,832 | €224.3M |
Gross value = all tracked CO2 × the carbon price; it is a ranking aid, not a liability. Emissions: Climate TRACE satellite estimates (2023) — indicative, not verified declarations. CBAM falls only on emissions embedded in EU-bound exports, at the phased-in share (2.5% in 2026 → 100% by 2034). More: IndustryAtlas.
Cut the bill at the source: heat-loss elimination via removable insulation typically saves 2–5% of fuel-related CO2 with <2-year payback — run the savings study or read the industrial insulation guide.
Share of embedded emissions in your EU-bound exports that must be covered by CBAM certificates — same official schedule, applied at the border. Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
