The state of Lithuania’s power emissions

Across the 3 Lithuania power plants carrying an asset-level CO₂ figure in this open dataset, total emissions are about 1.8 Mt CO₂/yr. The single largest emitter, Mazheikiai CHP Power Plant Lithuania (gas), accounts for about 93% of that 3-plant reported subset (not of the whole country). The top three owners — Ignitis gamyba (Ignitis Group), Ignitis Grupe AB [100%] — control roughly 7% of that 3-plant reported subset. Most of these plants sit in a continental Köppen climate zone.
