Chemical Industry

In Austria, the sub-sector Chemical Industry (part of Industry) was responsible for 0.78 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (1.46 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 46.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.81 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from the chemical industry, such as nitric acid, ammonia and ethylene production.

This sub-sector accounts for 2.8% of Industry emissions in Austria.
