Cement Plants in Cameroon
Cameroon has 9 cement plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 53rd-largest fleet of the 149 countries that hold any, and 0.3% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 8 operating and 1 under construction or proposed.
The largest owner-operators are CimenCam SA (3), LafargeHolcim Maroc SA (3) and AFG Holding SA (1) — CimenCam SA alone is named on 33% of them. Half of Cameroon's cement plants in service predate 2015 (median commissioning year of the 8 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is CimenCam Lafarge Bonaberi Cement Plant, dating from 1963. 1 is in the pipeline, led by Atlantic Group Kribi Cement Plant, proposed. They account for 22% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Cameroon.
