The state of Mozambique's industrial emissions

Across the 5 Mozambique industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 2.5 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Maputo aluminium plant (aluminum), accounts for about 52% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from aluminum. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — South32 Ltd, Moçambique Dugongo Cimentos SA, Cimentos de Maiaia Ltda — account for roughly 89%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
