Facility counts by sector, Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).
Across the 22 Belgium industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 22.0 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, ArcelorMittal Gent steel plant (iron-and-steel), accounts for about 33% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from iron-and-steel. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — ArcelorMittal SA, TotalEnergies SE, Exxon Mobil Corp — account for roughly 71%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
