Iran vs Korea: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iran
- Korea
How they compare
Korea currently reports 22.36 Mt CO2e against 20.05 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 2.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Korea's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Iran ahead.
Iran ranks 11th and Korea ranks 10th of 154 countries.
Korea has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iran | Korea | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2.57 Mt CO2e | 6.06 Mt CO2e | 3.49 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2000s | 6.06 Mt CO2e | 11.77 Mt CO2e | 5.71 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2010s | 10.38 Mt CO2e | 17.12 Mt CO2e | 6.74 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2020s | 17.8 Mt CO2e | 20.68 Mt CO2e | 2.88 Mt CO2e | Korea |
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).
