Analysis
The most recent figure for pre- and post-production — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in Australia is 5,131 kt, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 45.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in Australia peaked at 5,131 kt in 2021 and was at its lowest, 55.75 kt, in 1995.
That places Australia 19th out of 191 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.

About this data
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.
