Korea Building Materials Manpho Cement Plant — North Korea
Cement Plant in North Korea. Approximate location 41.17987, 126.29056.
Cement PlantNorth KoreaCO₂ not individually reported
Korea Building Materials Manpho Cement Plant is a cement plant in North Korea. 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 Ministry of Construction and Building-Materials Industry (North Korea). No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547342.

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.
Capacity & CO₂-intensity comparison computed from Climate TRACE industrial facilities data; sector role based on engineering reference.
Carbon emissions
No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Korea Building Materials Manpho Cement Plant; Climate TRACE provides only a cement plant sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown. 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
Korea Building Materials Manpho Cement Plant sits in a monsoon warm-summer continental climate zone (Köppen Dwb), at 41.2°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 a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1454 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.12× 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.
