Analysis
In 2024, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Iceland stood at 0.2442 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.8% on the previous year and down 14.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Iceland peaked at 1.23 Mt CO2e in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0.0658 Mt CO2e, in 1995.
That places Iceland 129th out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
