Ashaka Cement Plant — Nigeria
Cement Plant in Nigeria. Approximate location 10.931, 11.47583.
Cement PlantNigeriaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Ashaka Cement Plant is a cement plant in Nigeria. Cement plants heat limestone to 1,400°C in rotary kilns — one of the hottest industrial processes — and must control temperature precisely across the entire kiln length. It is operated by Lafarge Africa PLC. It emits about 404,790 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.2% of the CO₂e from the 25 facilities in Nigeria that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897572.

In context: how this facility compares
Subsector: cement. As cement plant, it requires high process heat (typically 800–1400°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Cement plants heat limestone to 1,400°C in rotary kilns — one of the hottest industrial processes — and must control temperature precisely across the entire kiln length.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 405k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Ashaka Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 405k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €30.5M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
