Petroleum refining
In Bulgaria, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 0.73 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.3% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.86 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 15.3%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.01 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 3% of Energy emissions in Bulgaria.
