Analysis
Malawi recorded 0.4315 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 6.9% on the previous year and up 162.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Malawi peaked at 0.4315 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1990.
Malawi ranks 114th of 154 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.
