These data are specifically for HFCs and PFCs, greenhouse gases with very high global warming power used in our cold systems. This figure underscores the crucial importance of improving the watertightness of the installations and favouring more environmentally friendly refrigerant fluids to reduce our collective carbon footprint.

Gas emissions
This graph illustrates the distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the PIUP sector (Industrial Processes and Product Use). It is clear that all emissions in this category are concentrated on a single gas family, HFCs and PFCs. These fluorinated gases, mainly used in refrigeration, air conditioning and certain industrial processes, have an extremely high global warming power, far superior to that of $CO 2$. This exclusivity underlines the crucial importance of targeting refrigerant management and alternatives to fluorinated gases to reduce the carbon footprint specific to this industrial sector.

Evolution of PIUP emissions (Eq-CO2)
GHG emissions from the Energy sector are estimated from activity data collected from the different sources identified using default emission factors according to the IPCC guidelines. Data come from the following categories: Energy Industries, Manufacturing and Construction, Transport, Other sectors (trade and institutional, residential, off-road vehicle and other machinery, fishing), ′′unspecified′′ (stationary, mobile), Fugitive emissions.

The emissions calculated in this sector relate to domestic livestock (enteric fermentation and manure management) and managed soils (burning crop biomass residues, rice emissions, direct N2O emissions from managed soils and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application).

The main sources of emissions/absorptions in the forestry and other land allocation sectors are: Forest lands (4.A); Cropland (4.B); Prairies (4.C); Wetlands (4.D); Establishments/Artificial forests (4.E) and harvested wood products (4.G).
Data on activities in this sector are the areas occupied by forests, crops, grasslands, wetlands, establishments, quantities of harvested wood products provided by depository institutions. The table below shows emissions in Gg Eq.CO2 the FAT sector.

-
Wastewater treatment: This activity primarily generates nitrous oxide (32.05), while methane emissions are zero. This suggests a treatment process where anaerobic decomposition producing methane is completely controlled or absent.
-
Biological Treatment of Solid Waste: It is the most emissive pole of both. It has significantly higher N2O levels (97.03) and significant methane production (51.26). These figures reflect the intensity of biological processes (such as composting or methanization) necessary for the decomposition of solid organic matter.
