The state of Venezuela's industrial emissions

Across the 19 Venezuela industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 17.4 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Independencia Municipality (aluminum), accounts for about 23% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from aluminum. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Petróleos de Venezuela SA, Venezolana de Cementos, Industria de Venezolana de Cemento SA — account for roughly 44%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
