Crude Oil Production
Since the closure of the Larnaca oil refinery in 2004 Cyprus has imported all its oil products. The refinery was transformed into an import terminal and a storage centre.
Since 2008, imports of oil products have declined by 2%/year to 2.2 Mt in 2021. Israel accounts for almost one third of these imports, followed by Greece (27%) and the Netherlands (13%) (2021).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
Cyprus' NECP aims to reduce GHG emissions by 24% by 2030 compared to 2005, including -25% in ETS sectors and -21% in non-ETS sectors (including industry, waste, and agriculture). In 2020, GHG emissions were less than 5% below 2005 levels.
Since 2013, total GHG emissions have risen slightly, by an average of 1%/year, reaching 8.8 MtCO2eq in 2020. Previously, they declined by 5%/year between 2008 and 2013. Between 1990 and 2008, total GHGs increased by 3%/year, peaking at 10 MtCO2eq in 2008.
