Analysis
The most recent figure for f-gases emissions from industrial processes in South Africa is 17.36 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
The figure is up 6.3% on the previous year and up 129.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, f-gases emissions from industrial processes in South Africa peaked at 17.36 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.21 Mt CO2e, in 1991.
That places South Africa 16th out of 154 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
