This statistic shows the amount of perfluorocarbons (PFC) emissions attributable to the manufacture of computer, electronic, communication and optical products in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017, in thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). PFC emissions spiked up in 2000, with 262,800 metric tons of CO2e emitted. That is approximately twice the amount of emissions when compared to 1995 or 2005. In 2017, PFC emissions totaled 183,500 metric tons of CO2e.
Perfluorocarbons (PFC) emissions from the manufacture of computer and optical products* in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017
(in 1,000 metric tons CO2e**)
*This includes computer, electronic, communication and optical products. **Carbon dioxide equivalent.
Perfluorocarbons are powerful greenhouse gases that were introduced as alternatives to ozone depleting substances.
Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
