The state of Ecuador's industrial emissions

Across the 7 Ecuador industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 4.3 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Guayaquil Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 50% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Holcim (Ecuador) SA, Petroecuador, Unión Cementera Nacional SA — account for roughly 94%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
