In 2023, Hydrofluorocarbons emissions in Germany stood at approximately 7.45 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease in emissions, dropping from 7.16 million metric tons in 2024 to 6.0 million metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year, this represents an average decline of about 4.2% annually over the forecast period. Given these figures, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024 to 2028 period is negative, indicating a consistent downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Implementation of stricter European Union environmental regulations that could accelerate emission reductions further.
Technological advancements in refrigeration and air conditioning systems leading to reduced dependency on hydrofluorocarbons.
Increased governmental initiatives and funding toward research in alternative eco-friendly gases.
