Cement Plant in Cameroon. Approximate location 4.01311, 9.67319.

Cement PlantCameroonCO₂ reported

Mira Douala Cement Plant is a cement plant in Cameroon with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Mira SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 cement plants tracked in Cameroon. It emits about 266,911 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 62,217 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 26% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,000,000 t of cement, Mira Douala Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Cameroon (1,600,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 25% en dessous de la médiane des cement plant. 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.
