The state of Uruguay's industrial emissions

Across the 5 Uruguay industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 1.0 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, CEPP Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. Montes del Plata - Joint venture Stora Enso y Celulosa Arauco y Constitución Pulp Mill (pulp-and-paper), accounts for about 39% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from pulp-and-paper. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Administracion Nacional de Combustibles Alcohol y Portland, Stora Enso Oyj, Cementos Artigas SA — account for roughly 94%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
