It is forecast (in the sustainable development scenario) that carbon dioxide emissions from the global production of ammonia will amount to 343.9 million metric tons in 2030, down from 427.8 million metric tons in 2015. Emissions and climate change is increasingly an important topic within the chemical industry.
Carbon dioxide emissions of chemical production worldwide from 2015 to 2030, by chemical source
(in million metric tons)
*Forecast figures based on the sustainable development scenario.
Direct carbon dioxide emissions include energy and process emissions. Primary chemicals include ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, ammonia, and methanol. Primary chemical production accounts for two-thirds of energy consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sector.
