Analysis
Libya recorded 5.33 Mt CO2e for f-gases emissions from industrial processes in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.5% on the previous year and up 138.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Libya peaked at 5.33 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1722 Mt CO2e, in 1995.
That places Libya 36th out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
