Volga Cement Plant — Russian Federation
Cement Plant in Russian Federation. Approximate location 52.08039, 47.48256.
Cement PlantRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Volga Cement Plant is a cement plant in Russian Federation. 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 Volga Cement JSC. It emits about 642,005 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.27% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897755.

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 642k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Volga Cement Plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 642k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €48.4M/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).
