The state of Spain's industrial emissions

Across the 91 Spain industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 47.5 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant (iron-and-steel), accounts for about 8% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from oil-and-gas-refining. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Repsol, ArcelorMittal España SA, Cepsa — account for roughly 40%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
