Analysis
The most recent figure for f-gases emissions from industrial processes in China is 502.44 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
The figure is up 4.3% on the previous year and up 37.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in China peaked at 502.44 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 4.59 Mt CO2e, in 1990.
China ranks 1st of 154 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
