Port Daniel Cement Plant — Canada
Cement Plant in Canada. Approximate location 48.18755, -64.91995.
Cement PlantCanadaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Port Daniel Cement Plant is a cement plant in Canada. Its listed capacity is 3,100,000 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 St Marys Cement Inc (Canada). By capacity it ranks #1 among 4 cement plants in Canada. It emits about 1,275,488 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.8% of the CO₂e from the 127 facilities in Canada that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 14% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 3,100,000 t of cement, Port Daniel Cement Plant is well above the median cement plant in Canada (2,100,000 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 1.3M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Port Daniel Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 1.3M t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €96.1M/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
Port Daniel Cement Plant sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 48.2°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 thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1467 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.13× 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.
