CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries and construction (% of total fuel combustion)

This indicator captures the carbon dioxide emissions resulting from fuel combustion in manufacturing and construction sectors, providing a critical perspective on their contribution to overall greenhouse gas emissions. It encompasses emissions from direct combustion processes in various industries, as outlined in the 1996 IPCC Guidelines, while also recognizing the role of autoproducers—entities that generate energy in-house—whose emissions are reported separately due to the lack of detailed end-use data. Additionally, this metric accounts for emissions from coke usage in blast furnaces, a key component in steel production. By analyzing these emissions, stakeholders can better understand the environmental impact of industrial activities, enabling targeted strategies for emissions reduction and promoting sustainable practices within these vital sectors.
