In Bulgaria, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 0.8 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.7% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (1.86 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 56.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.01 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from the refining of crude oil by oil refineries. Emissions arise from the combustion of fuels, flaring and thermal cracking.

This sub-sector accounts for 4.1% of Energy emissions in Bulgaria.
