Cemex De Puerto Rico, Inc.

Lime Plant in Puerto Rico. Approximate location 18.02305, -66.63888.

Lime PlantPuerto RicoCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Cemex De Puerto Rico, Inc. is a lime plant in Puerto Rico. Its listed capacity is 4,284 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. It emits about 2,821 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.76% of the CO₂e from the 6 facilities in Puerto Rico that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

At 4,284 t of lime, Cemex De Puerto Rico, Inc. is around the median lime plant in Puerto Rico (4,284 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1260 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.97× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment.
