What CBAM figure does an EU buyer need for Algerian clinker?

Per tonne of clinker: calcination CO2 from limestone, roughly half a tonne, plus kiln fuel, which in Algeria is mostly gas. Electricity counts for cement too. Ask for a verified figure; gas fired kilns can come in below the EU default.

What goes in

• Process CO2 from calcining limestone.
• Kiln fuel, mostly natural gas.
• Electricity for grinding and fans.
• Bought clinker if a plant buys from another.

Cement

Cement adds grinding power and takes the clinker share times its figure. Ask for the clinker share of each grade.

Carbon price

Algeria has no carbon price to deduct.

What Senseible does here

Senseible keeps each site's fuel, power and production records together, so the embedded emissions you send an EU importer trace back to dated documents.

• Egypt clinker exporters
• Limestone calcination CO2
• Algeria grid factor
