San Lazaro Cement Plant — Paraguay
Cement Plant in Paraguay. Approximate location -22.29547, -57.86366.
Cement PlantParaguayCO₂ estimate (modelled)
San Lazaro Cement Plant is a cement plant in Paraguay. 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 Cementos Concepción SAE. It emits about 411,314 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 36% of the CO₂e from the 4 facilities in Paraguay that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547336.

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 411k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), San Lazaro Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 411k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €31.0M/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).
