Lengerich Cement Plant — Germany
Cement Plant in Germany. Approximate location 52.17493, 7.88841.
Cement PlantGermanyCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Lengerich Cement Plant is a cement plant in Germany. Its listed capacity is 1,770,000 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 Dyckerhoff GmbH. By capacity it ranks #2 among 12 cement plants in Germany. It emits about 836,662 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.74% of the CO₂e from the 118 facilities in Germany that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 31% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438311.

In context: how this facility compares
At 1,770,000 t of cement, Lengerich Cement Plant is well above the median cement plant in Germany (950,000 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 837k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Lengerich Cement Plant carries €71.4M/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: 224k t/yr — verified EUTL (reporting year 2023) (73% below the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 837k 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
Lengerich Cement Plant sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 52.2°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1405 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.08× 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.
