Analysis
The most recent figure for co2 emissions from cement production in Egypt is 23,190 thousand metric tons, measured in 2009. That is the highest value across all 50 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 16.2% on the previous year and up 99.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 emissions from cement production in Egypt peaked at 23,190 thousand metric tons in 2009 and was at its lowest, 1,019 thousand metric tons, in 1960.
That places Egypt 1st out of 51 countries with data for 2009, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Carbon dioxide emissions from cement production refer mainly to emissions during cement production. Cement production is a multi-step process and CO2 is actually released from klinker production during the cement production process. The U.S. Department of Energy’s carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) calculates annual anthropogenic emissions from data on fossil fuel consumption (from the United Nations Statistics Division’s World Energy Data Set) and world cement manufacturing (from the U.S. Bureau of Mine’s Cement Manufacturing Data Set). Carbon dioxide emissions, often calculated and reported as elemental carbon, were converted to actual carbon dioxide mass by multiplying them by 3.664 (the ratio of the mass of carbon to that of carbon dioxide). Although estimates of global carbon dioxide emissions are probably accurate within 10 percent (as calculated from global average file chemistry and use), country estimates may have larger error bounds. Trends estimated from a consistent time series tend to be more accurate than individual values. Each year the CDIAC recalculates the entire time series since 1949, incorporating recent findings and corrections. Estimates exclude fuels supplied to ships and aircraft in international transport because of the difficulty of apportioning he fuels among benefitting countries. The ratio of carbon dioxide per unit of energy shows carbon intensity, which is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of using one unit of energy in the process of production.
