The state of Qatar's industrial emissions

Across the 10 Qatar industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 16.8 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Umm Bab Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 17% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — QatarEnergy, Qatar National Cement Company QPSC, Al Khalij Cement Co — account for roughly 63%. Most of these facilities sit in a arid Köppen climate zone.
