Abstract
Abstract

The industrial sector, especially energy-intensive industries, is considered one of the most important polluting sectors. Given that the industrial sector itself includes several production sub-sectors and the pollution caused by them is different, first the amount of carbon dioxide emissions at the level of all two-digit ASIC codes during the years 2004-2022 has been estimated. Then, the industry that emitted the highest amount of carbon dioxide (the industry producing non-metallic mineral products) was considered as a polluting industry, and the factors affecting the carbon dioxide emissions of that industry were identified. The results of the present study, using Bootstrap regression estimation during the period under study, show that the amount of carbon dioxide emissions emitted by the non-metallic mineral industry is a positive function of the amount of energy carrier consumed, physical capital intensity, and human capital intensity, and a negative function of the intensity of human resource skills, industry capital expenditures, and research & development expenditures.
