The state of Kuwait's industrial emissions

Across the 6 Kuwait industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 20.1 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, KIPIC Al-Zour Refinery (oil-and-gas-refining), accounts for about 41% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from oil-and-gas-refining. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Kuwait National Petroleum Co, Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Co, Kuwait Projects Company Holding KSCP — account for roughly 94%. Most of these facilities sit in a arid Köppen climate zone.
