The total greenhouse gas emissions index in France increased by 4.1 points (+5.61 percent) in 2021. In total, the GGE index amounted to 77.2 points in 2021. This increase was preceded by a declining GGE index. The index shows the total greenhouse gas emissions in CO2 equivalent with the reference year 1990. Therefore, it measures total national emissions (from both ESD and ETS sectors) including international aviation of the so called ‘Kyoto basket’ of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and the so-called F-gases (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, nitrogen triflouride (NF3) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)) from all sectors of the GHG emission inventories (including international aviation and indirect CO2).
According to the source, 'this indicator shows trends in total manmade emissions of the �Kyoto basket� of greenhouse gases. It presents annual total emissions in relation to 1990 emissions and also related to emissions in the Kyoto base year. The �Kyoto basket� of greenhouse gases includes: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and the so called Fgases (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)). These gases are aggregated into a single unit using gas specific global warming potential (GWP) factors. The aggregated greenhouse gas emissions are expressed in units of CO2 equivalents. The indicator does not include emissions and removals related to land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF), nor does it include emissions from international maritime transport. Greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation are not included in the data which is indexed to the Kyoto base year because these emissions are not covered by the Kyoto Protocol. However, they are included in the data indexed to 1990. CO2 emissions from biomass with energy recovery are reported as a Memorandum item according to UNFCCC Guidelines and not included in national greenhouse gas totals.'
