The state of Taiwan's industrial emissions

Across the 21 Taiwan industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 43.6 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, China Steel Corporation Xiaogang plant (iron-and-steel), accounts for about 34% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from iron-and-steel. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — China Steel Corp, Dragon Steel Corp, Formosa Petrochemical Corp — account for roughly 65%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
