Analysis

France recorded 5,876 kt for food processing — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in 2023.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, food processing — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in France peaked at 6,014 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0.3608 kt, in 1992.

That places France 3rd out of 55 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood 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). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
