The state of Nigeria's industrial emissions

Across the 25 Nigeria industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 33.0 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Obajana Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 18% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Dangote Cement PLC, BUA International Ltd, Lafarge Africa PLC — account for roughly 71%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
