India vs Sub-Saharan Africa: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- India
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
India currently reports 72.23 Mt CO2e against 63.14 Mt CO2e in Sub-Saharan Africa, a difference of 9.09 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.1 times Sub-Saharan Africa's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was India ahead.
India ranks 3rd and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 29th of 154 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, India averaged higher in 3 and Sub-Saharan Africa in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | Sub-Saharan Africa | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 7.79 Mt CO2e | 3.63 Mt CO2e | 4.16 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2000s | 12.98 Mt CO2e | 16.81 Mt CO2e | 3.83 Mt CO2e | Sub-Saharan Africa |
| 2010s | 39.14 Mt CO2e | 29.65 Mt CO2e | 9.5 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 65.27 Mt CO2e | 55.27 Mt CO2e | 10 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
