The state of Egypt's industrial emissions

Across the 56 Egypt industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 60.0 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, National Cement New Beni Suef Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 7% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Lafarge Cement Company Egypt SAE, National Company for Cement in Beni Suef SAE, Abu Qir Fertilizers and Chemical Industries Co SAE — account for roughly 21%. Most of these facilities sit in a arid Köppen climate zone.
