The state of Bulgaria's industrial emissions

Across the 10 Bulgaria industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 4.4 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, LUKOIL Neftochim Burgas Refinery (oil-and-gas-refining), accounts for about 34% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from oil-and-gas-refining. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — LUKOIL Neftohim Burgas AD, Zlatna Panega Cement AD, Solvay Sodi AD — account for roughly 63%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
