Petroleum refining
In Italy, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 16.66 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (15.95 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 4.5%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 6.94 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 18% of Energy emissions in Italy.
