Frequently asked questions

How many petrochemical-sector records are there worldwide?
240 petrochemical-sector records across 58 countries are tracked in this open dataset.
Which country has the most petrochemical-sector records?
China — 41 petrochemical-sector records.
Can these capacity fields be compared directly?
Check the product, reporting period and site boundary first. Sharing a source unit does not establish like-for-like plant capacity.
Where does the data come from?
Climate TRACE v6 — asset-level capacity and CO₂e emissions (CC BY 4.0).
