Miskolc Cement Plant — Hungary
Cement Plant in Hungary. Approximate location 47.75033, 18.50573.
Cement PlantHungaryCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Miskolc Cement Plant is a cement plant in Hungary. Its listed capacity is 1,825,000 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 Hejocsabai Cement es Meszmu Rt. It emits about 997,108 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 14% of the CO₂e from the 16 facilities in Hungary that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 51% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42546336.

In context: how this facility compares
At 1,825,000 t of cement, Miskolc Cement Plant is around the median cement plant in Hungary (1,825,000 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 997k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Miskolc Cement Plant carries €85.1M/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.

Local climate
Miskolc Cement Plant sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 47.8°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 1400 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.
