PetrochemicalRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Sibur Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod is a petrochemical plant in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 420,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. It is operated by SIBUR Holding PJSC. By capacity it ranks #5 among 9 petrochemical plants in Russian Federation. It emits about 470,886 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.20% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 14% below the national median for this sector.
