Victorville Cement Plant — United States

Cement Plant in United States. Approximate location 34.55415, -117.30228.

Cement PlantUnited StatesCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Victorville Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States. 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 CEMEX Inc. It emits about 898,055 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.16% of the CO₂e from the 1,910 facilities in United States 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 898k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Victorville Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 898k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €67.7M/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 1344 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× 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.
