The state of Colombia's industrial emissions

Across the 20 Colombia industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 8.5 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Ecopetrol Cartagena Refinery (oil-and-gas-refining), accounts for about 26% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Ecopetrol SA, Cementos Argos SA, Holcim (Colombia) SA — account for roughly 80%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
