The state of Tanzania's industrial emissions

Across the 6 Tanzania industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 3.1 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Mtwara Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 36% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Dangote Cement PLC, Tanzania Portland Cement PLC, Mbeya Cement Company Ltd — account for roughly 82%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
