Langar Cement Plant — Iran
Cement Plant in Iran. Approximate location 36.24577, 53.62125.
Cement PlantIranCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Langar Cement Plant is a cement plant in Iran. Its listed capacity is 730,000 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 Kiasar Cement Industrial Co. By capacity it ranks #30 among 37 cement plants in Iran. It emits about 431,143 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.35% of the CO₂e from the 126 facilities in Iran that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 63% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 730,000 t of cement, Langar Cement Plant is below the median cement plant in Iran (1,460,000 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 431k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Langar Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 431k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €32.5M/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
Langar Cement Plant sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate zone (Köppen Csa), at 36.2°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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1312 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× 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.

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.
