Cement PlantCôte d'IvoireCO₂ estimate (modelled)
CIMPOR Cement Plant is a cement plant in Côte d'Ivoire. Its listed capacity is 2,034,363 t of cement. 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 CIMPOR Côte D'Ivoire. It emits about 865,577 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 57% of the CO₂e from the 2 facilities in Côte d'Ivoire that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 17% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547413.

In context: how this facility compares
At 2,034,363 t of cement, CIMPOR Cement Plant is around the median cement plant in Côte d'Ivoire (2,034,363 t of cement). 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 866k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), CIMPOR Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 866k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €65.2M/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).

Local climate
CIMPOR Cement Plant sits in a tropical savanna climate zone (Köppen Aw), at 5.4°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
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 1235 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.95× 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. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
