Analysis
In 2024, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Australia stood at 12.67 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.0% on the previous year and up 39.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Australia peaked at 12.67 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3.92 Mt CO2e, in 1996.
That places Australia 21st out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 35 years of available data.
