Cement Plant in Eritrea. Approximate location 15.6416, 39.4736.
Cement PlantEritreaCO₂ reported
Massawa Cement Plant is a cement plant in Eritrea with a reported capacity of 45,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Eritrean Cement Works. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 cement plants tracked in Eritrea. It emits about 16,692 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 3,891 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896698.
À 45,000 t of cement, Massawa Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Eritrea (350,000 t of cement). Sous-secteur: cement. Comme cement plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1400°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les cimenteries chauffent le calcaire à 1.400°C dans des fours rotatifs — l'un des processus industriels les plus chauds — et doivent contrôler la température avec précision sur toute la longueur du four.
