Petroleum refining
In Slovakia, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 1.84 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4.5% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (3 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 38.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.51 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 21.9% of Energy emissions in Slovakia.
