Petroleum refining
In Poland, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 4.59 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (2.92 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 57.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 2.84 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 2.8% of Energy emissions in Poland.
