Nhà máy Xi măng Cao Lộc Cement Plant — Vietnam

Cement Plant in Vietnam. Approximate location 21.91424, 106.66644.

Cement PlantVietnamCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Nhà máy Xi măng Cao Lộc Cement Plant is a cement plant in Vietnam. 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 Vietnam Cement Industry Corp. It emits about 96,538 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.12% of the CO₂e from the 90 facilities in Vietnam that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

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 97k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Nhà máy Xi măng Cao Lộc Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 97k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €7.3M/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).

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1285 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.99× 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.
