Global GHG emissions from oil and gas refining 2015-2022, by select country

Published by Ian Tiseo, Jan 11, 2024
Greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas refining were highest in China and the United States in 2022. The two countries emitted the equivalent of 190 and 185 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from refining activities, respectively. This accounted for almost 40 percent of global oil and gas refining emissions.

Supplementary notes

Figures are based on fugitive and exhaust emissions from combustion-related processes of crude oil refining.

Oil refining emissions are estimated with the Petroleum Refinery Life-Cycle Inventory Model (PRELIM). PRELIM estimates energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with processing various crude oil types for different refinery configurations. Inputs include refinery locations, configurations, and crude refining throughputs to generate GHG intensities and absolute emissions by country.

Figures account for greenhouse gas emissions based on their 100-year global warming potential (GWP).
