In 2023, the production of petrochemicals in the United States resulted in the emission of some million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MtCO2eq) worth of greenhouse gases (GHG). This was the segment within the U.S. chemical industry that contributed the most to GHG emissions that year, accounting for roughly **** percent of the industry's total GHG emissions. Coming in second place was the production of hydrogen, which generated approximately MtCO2eq or ** percent of the GHG emissions from the chemical industry in the U.S.
