Figures are based on fugitive and exhaust emissions from combustion-related processes of crude oil refining.
Oil refining emissions are estimated with the Petroleum Refinery Life-Cycle Inventory Model (PRELIM). PRELIM estimates energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with processing various crude oil types for different refinery configurations. Inputs include refinery locations, configurations, and crude refining throughputs to generate GHG intensities and absolute emissions by country.
Figures account for greenhouse gas emissions based on their 100-year global warming potential (GWP).

Global GHG emissions from oil and gas refining 2015-2023, by select country
Greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas refining were highest in the United States and China in 2023. The two countries emitted the equivalent of *** and *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide from refining activities that year, respectively, making up almost ** percent of global oil and gas refining emissions.
