United States vs World: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- United States
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 1,510 Mt CO2e against 221.49 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 1,289 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 6.8 times United States's.
Across all 35 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
United States ranks 2nd and World ranks 1st of 154 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | United States | World | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 178.34 Mt CO2e | 454.1 Mt CO2e | 275.76 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2000s | 202.24 Mt CO2e | 718.88 Mt CO2e | 516.64 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2010s | 187.57 Mt CO2e | 1,021 Mt CO2e | 833.33 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2020s | 210.2 Mt CO2e | 1,392 Mt CO2e | 1,182 Mt CO2e | World |
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).
