Facility counts by sector, Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).
Across the 9 Ethiopia industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 7.5 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Lemi Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 29% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Lemi National Cement PLC, Derba Midroc Cement PLC, Habesha Cement SCO — account for roughly 57%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
Estimated CO₂e (modelled): Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0); climate: Köppen-Geiger (WorldClim). CC BY 4.0.
