Petroleum refining
In Lithuania, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 1.21 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 6.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (1.51 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 19.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.19 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 37.6% of Energy emissions in Lithuania.
