France vs Germany: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- France
- Germany
How they compare
Germany currently reports 8.87 Mt CO2e against 6.54 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 2.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Germany's figure about 1.4 times France's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Germany ahead.
France ranks 33rd and Germany ranks 30th of 154 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, France averaged higher in 1 and Germany in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | France | Germany | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 9.86 Mt CO2e | 17.57 Mt CO2e | 7.72 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 16.1 Mt CO2e | 17.8 Mt CO2e | 1.7 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 17.12 Mt CO2e | 14.62 Mt CO2e | 2.5 Mt CO2e | France |
| 2020s | 9.31 Mt CO2e | 10.68 Mt CO2e | 1.37 Mt CO2e | Germany |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
