Northern Europe vs South Africa: Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases
Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- Northern Europe
- South Africa
How they compare
Northern Europe currently reports 6,946 kt against 3,078 kt in South Africa, a difference of 3,868 kt.
That makes Northern Europe's figure about 2.3 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Northern Europe ahead.
Northern Europe ranks 26th and South Africa ranks 28th of 31 groups.
Northern Europe has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Northern Europe | South Africa | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2,106 kt | 646.97 kt | 1,459 kt | Northern Europe |
| 2000s | 5,757 kt | 1,552 kt | 4,204 kt | Northern Europe |
| 2010s | 9,026 kt | 2,483 kt | 6,543 kt | Northern Europe |
| 2020s | 7,047 kt | 3,056 kt | 3,992 kt | Northern 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.
