The state of Kenya's industrial emissions

Across the 7 Kenya industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 3.4 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, National Cement Mathatani Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 26% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — National Cement Company Ltd, Devki Steel Mills Ltd, Mombasa Cement Ltd — account for roughly 70%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
