The Petroineos oil refinery at Grangemouth was Scotland's biggest climate polluter in 2023, having emitted almost 740,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Grangemouth, Scotland's only oil refinery, is set to cease operations in 2025. Scotland's 20 highest-emitting sites vary greatly, from power stations and oil and gas sites, to paper mills and even a whiskey distillery.
