Consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Libya, 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 Libya stood at 75 ODP tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 43.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Libya peaked at 2,145 ODP tonnes in 1998 and was at its lowest, 2.2 ODP tonnes, in 1989.
Libya ranks 21st of 168 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
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.
