The global share of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) emissions is dominated by the United States with 52.53 billion grams CO2 equivalent, followed by Japan at 18.24 billion grams. Notable decreases in emissions between 2022 and 2023 occurred in France (-9.17%) and Germany (-4.56%), while Australia's emissions grew by 4.07%. The five-year trend suggests significant annual decreases in emissions for countries like Spain and Austria. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects efforts to reduce HFCs, though some countries are still experiencing moderate increases.
Future trends indicate ongoing efforts globally to phase down HFCs due to their high global warming potential. This includes international agreements like the Kigali Amendment, pushing for more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Monitoring technological advancements in refrigeration and cooling systems will be crucial, as these are primary sources of HFC emissions. Additionally, regulatory measures and innovations influence the trajectory of each country's HFC emissions share.
