Spain increased its emissions subject to the CO2 market by 9 percent in 2022. But, between The most polluting companies there are those who reduce them to a greater extent, As concluded by the Sustainability Observatory Report and GrandMother: ‘Decarbonization 2023: Europe, Spain and the autonomous communities’. Castilla y León, Cantabria and Madrid are the CCAAs that reduce CO2 emissions the most compared to Murcia and La Rioja.
Special, In 2022, emissions subject to the carbon market accounted for 34.1 percent of total emissions in Spain, compared to 66 percent of common sectors.such as housing, agriculture, transportation or heating.
The report, presented recently in Madrid, estimates that greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production have increased by 24 percent, so the authors of the paper think: “You can’t talk about decarbonization progress in 2022”because it was a year of “strong economic growth” — about 5.5 percent — after the enormous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of this recovery, One of the sectors where the study observed a higher increase in greenhouse gas emissions was aviation with 108 percent.; it is followed by fossil fuels with 20 percent; oil refineries, 6%.
But, the rest of the sectors have reduced their emissionssuch as -3 percent, chemicals, -4 percent, cement, -9 percent; steel, -10 percent; ceramics, -13 percent and paper, -22 percent.
The Observatory reminds that all sectors “must deliver a deep decarbonisation trajectory” to meet the 2030 targets of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC).
Specifically, the study identified the ten Spanish companies that emit the most equivalent CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. replyWith 12,427,286 tons of CO2, Endesa11,554,316 tons; PDE10,814,034 tons; nature, 7,448,297 tons; Arcelormittal5,049,350 tons; CEPSA4,888,614 tons; FCC 3,400,650 tons; iberdrola2,954,190 tons; enagas2,308,474 tons and CEMEX 2,049,148 tons of CO2 equivalent.
as a whole These ten companies released 60.5 percent of emissions subject to carbon markets and about 20.5 percent of all emissions in Spain. According to the report, when the top 20 companies are analyzed, it can be seen that they already account for 72.5 percent of emissions in the carbon market and 24.5 percent of all emissions in Spain.
Those who pollute the most are also those who heal the most.
But, Among these major stations, there are also the most developed ones. and therefore reduced, its emissions are subject to the market between 2021 and 2022.
Specifically, the study points out cemexreducing its emissions by 16 percent; Arcelormittal-10 percent and FCC, -2 percent. on his behalf Cepsa and Iberdrola remained at similar levels.
on his behalf enagas hwould increase CO2 emissions by 111 percent from 2021 to 2022; improvisation 53 percent, edp, 32 percent; Endesa, 24 percent and reply16 percent.
Airlines are among the worst worsened
among the first 20 companies that increase their polluting emissions highlight companies in the aviation industrywith EasyJet the leader with 239 percent more; flying93 percent increase and Iberia69 percent.
On the other hand, in the report, which also analyzes different sectors, the refining sector, which emits approximately 13 percent of the CO2 that is the subject of the market, continues to emit “almost the same since 2008” and “almost no decarbonisation”It has increased by 6 percent since 2022.
Prominent works of companies in this sector BP, CEPSA and especially REPSOL, which has increased its emissions by 16 percent this year and by 205 percent since 2008.
fossil fuel burning industry, (47% carbon market emissions) especially electricity companies, overall can be seen to have improved by 50 percent since 2008, down from about 88,000 tons to less than half. Despite this, it increased by about 20 percent in 2022 compared to 2021.
Among these companies, Sharp drops since 2008 for Iberdrola and Endesa (approximately 70% of initial emissions) and improvisation throughout 2022.
The study also highlights the role of the cement sector, which has reduced its emissions by 50 percent since 2008 and by 9 percent last year. Meanwhile, the steel, iron and steel sector, which represents 6 percent of carbon market emissions, has reduced its emissions by 10 percent in 2022 and 20 percent since 2008.
