Australia vs Western Europe: Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases
Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- Australia
- Western Europe
How they compare
Western Europe currently reports 23,119 kt against 5,131 kt in Australia, a difference of 17,988 kt.
That makes Western Europe's figure about 4.5 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Western Europe ahead.
Australia ranks 19th and Western Europe ranks 18th of 191 countries.
Western Europe has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Western Europe | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 668.53 kt | 5,672 kt | 5,004 kt | Western Europe |
| 2000s | 1,858 kt | 22,419 kt | 20,561 kt | Western Europe |
| 2010s | 3,909 kt | 26,740 kt | 22,831 kt | Western Europe |
| 2020s | 5,094 kt | 22,398 kt | 17,304 kt | Western Europe |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
