Petroleum refining
In France, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 4.89 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (11.96 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 59.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 4.54 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 11.3% of Energy emissions in France.
