In 2023, Germany emerged as the highest emitter of sulphur hexafluoride globally, showing a modest 1.4% increase year-on-year. Contrastingly, Russia's emissions surged by 9.02%, and Malta registered the highest growth at 12.17%. Significant decreases were noted in Japan at -8.23% and Canada at -4.7%.
