The state of Italy's industrial emissions

Across the 70 Italy industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 39.7 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Acciaierie d'Italia Taranto steel plant (iron-and-steel), accounts for about 26% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from oil-and-gas-refining. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Acciaierie d'italia SpA, Eni SpA, Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi SpA — account for roughly 43%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
