Vallemi Cement Plant — Paraguay
Cement Plant in Paraguay. Approximate location -22.17334, -57.95551.
Cement PlantParaguayCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Vallemi Cement Plant is a cement plant in Paraguay. Its listed capacity is 1,060,000 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 Industria Nacional del Cemento SA. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 cement plants in Paraguay. It emits about 472,041 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 41% of the CO₂e from the 4 facilities in Paraguay that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 23% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 1,060,000 t of cement, Vallemi Cement Plant is around the median cement plant in Paraguay (1,060,000 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 472k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Vallemi Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 472k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €35.6M/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).
