Consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Congo, 1986–2021
Source: UN Environment Programme (2023) – processed by Our World in Data. Measured in ODP tonnes.
Analysis
In 2021, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Congo stood at 6.19 ODP tonnes. That is the lowest value across all 31 years on record.
The figure is down 3.1% on the previous year and down 41.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Congo peaked at 82.4 ODP tonnes in 1991 and was at its lowest, 6.19 ODP tonnes, in 2021.
Congo ranks 63rd of 168 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Consumption of various controlled substances. These include Bromochloromethane (BCM), Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Methyl Bromide (MB), Methyl Chloroform (TCA) and Other Fully Halogenated CFCs. We assign zero to missing values for a given (year, country, chemical) triple. This is due to technical reasons, so that we are able to plot this variable using our Grapher stacked are charts.
