Emissions of two perfluorocarbons, tetrafluoromethane and hexafluoroethane, surged by 78% in China from 2011-2021, representing 64-66% of global emissions for these gases by 2020, highlighting China's significant role in their release.
The increase in perfluorocarbon emissions from China has been driven by industrial zones in less populated western regions, particularly from the aluminium industry, which has been booming due to China's status as the world's largest producer and exporter of aluminium.
