Petrochemical industry emissions could climb 50% by 2050, global mapping suggests

Carbon emissions from the petrochemical industry could increase by 50% by 2050, according to new research from the University of Sheffield. The study, published in Nature Sustainability, provides the most detailed data to date on emissions from one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon dioxide.

Petrochemical emissions could rise 50% by 2050, study finds

Global greenhouse gas emissions from petrochemical production could rise by about 50% between 2023 and 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario, according to a new study. Its facility-level analysis also identifies a concentration of emissions that could help governments and companies decide where to direct investment: roughly one-tenth of facilities account for 53% of the total. ...

New Study Warns Of 50% Rise In Petrochemical Emissions By 2050

New research from the University of Sheffield indicates that greenhouse gas emissions from petrochemical production could increase by 50 per cent by 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario. The study, published in Nature Sustainability, provides the first detailed global map of these emissions, identifying key sources and highlighting the challenge of decarbonising the sector.

Petrochemical sector faces 50% emissions rise

Petrochemical producers could see sector-wide carbon emissions rise by 50% by 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario, according to research from the University of Sheffield. The study, published in Nature Sustainability, mapped greenhouse gas emissions across more than 37,000 petrochemical production facilities and process units worldwide, giving industry and policymakers a more detailed view of where […]
