Chemical Industry

In France, the sub-sector Chemical Industry (part of Industry) was responsible for 7.05 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.7% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (34.13 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 79.3%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 5.50 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 7.9% of Industry emissions in France.
