Solar Re Sudan: Paris Agreement calls for enhanced access to climate funds for African Countries

Cement in Sudan

Cement.—Sudan had eight cement plants with a combined capacity of 10.3 million metric tons per year. From 2009 to 2013, national cement production increased to an estimated 3.5 million metric tons (Mt) from 621,700 t. Output increased because of the expansion of Al-Rajhi Group’s Atbara plant and the opening of six new plants from 2009 to 2011. The domestic cement industry had considerable excess capacity; the Government planned to export cement to Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and North African and Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Bank of Sudan, 2013, p. 142; 2014a, p. 143; International Cement Review, 2013). In 2013, Al-Rajhi Group produced 1.11 Mt of cement; Al-Shamal Cement Factory, 657,000 t; ASEC Cement Co. of Egypt (a subsidiary of Citadel Capital S.A.E. of Egypt), 644,000 t; Al-Salam Cement Production Company Ltd., 327,500 t; Nile Cement Company Ltd., 93,900 t; and Aslan Cement Co., 89,400 t. Increased production at Al-Salam Cement, Al-Shamal Cement, and Aslan Cement was offset by decreased production at Al-Rajhi, ASEC Cement, and Nile Cement in 2013. In 2012 (the latest year for which data were available), Berber Cement Company Ltd. produced 605,700 t (Bank of Sudan, 2013, p. 142; 2014a, p. 143).
