GHGRP 2022: Fluorinated Chemicals

On this page:

• 2022 Total Reported Direct Emissions from Fluorinated Chemicals, by Subsector (as of 8/18/2023)
• Trend of Annual Reported GHG Emissions by Subsector (as of 8/18/2023)
• Location and emissions for each reporting facility in the fluorinated chemicals sector (as of 8/18/2023)
• Number of reporters and emissions in the fluorinated chemicals sector (as of 8/18/2023)

The fluorinated chemical subsector includes facilities that produce hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃), other fluorinated GHGs such as fluorinated ethers, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), including chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22). The subsector also includes facilities that destroy HFC-23, which is a by-product of HCFC-22 production and which may be emitted from the destruction process. This subsector does not include industries that use these fluorinated GHGs (i.e., semiconductors).
