New database of GHG and pollutants emissions in industry

Where are the most emission-intensive industrial plants in Poland? Which industrial companies emit the most CO2 and other greenhouse gases and pollutants? Which industrial sectors are the most emission-intensive?

Instrat publishes a new database on industrial emissions in Poland from 2010 to 2022. It is a comprehensive source of information about industrial emissions, which facilitates answering those questions.

Database on industrial emissions in Poland in 2010-2022

The database is a significant extension of the first edition of the industrial emissions database, which included representatives of the most emitting sectors of the economy from 4 energy-intensive industries.

This new version of database was developed by Instrat based on data from National database on emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, maintained by The National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE). The data was shared in response to a request for environmental information. It concerned emissions of the following GHG and pollutants:

  • CO2 – carbon dioxide
  • CH4 – methane
  • N2O – nitrous oxide
  • NOX – nitrogen oxides
  • BaP – benzo(a)pyrene
  • PM10 – particulates with a diametre below 10 micrometres
  • PM2,5 – particulates with a diametre below 2.5 micrometres.

The data was aggregated on several levels.


Content
  • The database file: it contains two tables – with emissions of the largest industrial plants in Poland and with emissions of the largest capital groups
  • Search engine on polluters: gives the possibility to search the total emissions of any industrial company
  • SQL files: containing data on the total emissions of all industrial plants and installations

Basic figures and facts
  • 26 000 – number of industrial installations in the base
  • 15 000 – number of entities in the database
  • 7.6 million tonnes of CO2 – emissions of Poland’s most emitting plant, the Orlen refinery in Płock
  • 65% – the ten capital groups with the largest emissions are responsible for such a percentage of total industrial emissions
