Isola del femmine Cement Plant — Italy
Cement Plant in Italy. Approximate location 38.19005, 13.24886.
Cement PlantItalyCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Isola del femmine Cement Plant is a cement plant in Italy. Its listed capacity is 900,000 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 Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi SpA. By capacity it ranks #15 among 16 cement plants in Italy. It emits about 406,007 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.0% of the CO₂e from the 70 facilities in Italy that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 25% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438773.

In context: how this facility compares
At 900,000 t of cement, Isola del femmine Cement Plant is below the median cement plant in Italy (1,300,000 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 406k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Isola del femmine Cement Plant carries €34.7M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.
Measured CO₂: 264k t/yr — verified EUTL (reporting year 2023) (35% below the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 406k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).
Carbon price: EU ETS €85/t · EU ETS €85/t, September 10, 2026, refreshed live via Carbon Hub. CO₂: measured (EUTL RY2023), cross-checked vs Climate TRACE. Indicative carbon value, not the cash bill — free allocation applies; not compliance advice.

Local climate
Isola del femmine Cement Plant sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 38.2°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 1353 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.04× 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.
