Petroleum refining
In Denmark, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 0.94 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 2.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.91 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 3.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.59 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 10.6% of Energy emissions in Denmark.
