Kokshe Cement Plant — Kazakhstan
Cement Plant in Kazakhstan. Approximate location 53.15968, 71.21871.
Cement PlantKazakhstanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Kokshe Cement Plant is a cement plant in Kazakhstan. 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 Kokshe-Cement LLP. It emits about 1,072,325 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 4.7% of the CO₂e from the 20 facilities in Kazakhstan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897365.

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 1.1M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Kokshe Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 1.1M t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €80.8M/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).
