Analysis
Bulgaria recorded 1.3 Mt CO2e for f-gases emissions from industrial processes in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
That represents a change of up 6.1% on the previous year and up 35.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Bulgaria peaked at 1.3 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0132 Mt CO2e, in 1990.
That places Bulgaria 73rd out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
