F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes in Sub-Saharan Africa, 1990–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Sub-Saharan Africa recorded 63.14 Mt CO2e for f-gases emissions from industrial processes in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
That represents a change of up 6.6% on the previous year and up 144.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Sub-Saharan Africa peaked at 63.14 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 2.83 Mt CO2e, in 1991.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
