Analysis

In 2024, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Ghana stood at 2.3 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.9% on the previous year and up 160.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Ghana peaked at 2.3 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.181 Mt CO2e, in 1998.

That places Ghana 55th out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
