Analysis
In 2024, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Nigeria stood at 14.55 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.7% on the previous year and up 150.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in Nigeria peaked at 14.55 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1388 Mt CO2e, in 1993.
That places Nigeria 19th 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.
