Facility counts by sector, Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).
Across the 8 Ghana industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 1.0 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Tema Aluminum Smelter & Refinery (aluminum), accounts for about 42% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from aluminum. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Government of Ghana, Sentuo Group, Savanna Diamond Cement Ltd — account for roughly 80%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
