The United States had the largest share of global Sulphur Hexafluoride emissions in 2023, with significant contributions also from Japan, and the United Kingdom. Emissions in the U.S. rose, while Japan and the United Kingdom saw slight declines. France, Austria, and other European countries exhibited reductions. Notably, emissions in Latvia and New Zealand increased. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years suggests an overall modest decline in emissions.
Future trends indicate a potential shift as countries continue strengthening regulations on greenhouse gases and exploring alternative technologies. There may be increased focus on innovative solutions to reduce Sulphur Hexafluoride emissions globally.
