The import of HFCs was estimated to app. 190 tonnes. This is a decrease of app. 12 tonnes compared to 2019. The GWP-weighted actual emissions of HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 in 2020 were app. 380.000 tonnes CO2 equiva-lents. In comparison to 2019 this represents a decrease of app. 28.000 tonnes. The decrease is mainly caused by smaller emissions from SF6 from sound proof thermal windows and phase out of HFCs in technical aerosol spray products. However, the emissions have increased for MAC, heat pumps, medical doze inhalers (MDI) and power switch gear. The F-gas emission comprise app. 1-1.5% of the total national GWP emission from all sources.
Danish summary
Importen af industrielle drivhusgasser udgjorde ca. 190 tons. Det er et fald på ca. 12 tons i forhold til 2019. Den GWP-vægtede aktuelle emission er på ca. 380.000 tons CO2 ækvivalenter. I forhold til 2019 udgør dette et fald på ca. 28.000 tons. Faldet skyldes især mindre udledninger af SF6 fra termoruder og udfasning af HFC som drivmiddel i spraydåser. Emissioner fra bil AC, varmepumper, medicinske spraydåser og højspændingsanlæg er dog steget. Emissionerne af F-gasser udgør ca. 1-1,5 % af de samlede drivhus gas emissioner fra Danmark.
