Super-Emitter of the most Damaging Greenhouse Gas found in Germany

Solvay’s factory reported only 56 kilograms of SF₆ emissions for 2023 to Germany’s industrial emissions register. The scientist’s estimates are 500 times higher: around 30 tons. Its effect on the atmosphere is more than that of 700,000 tons of CO₂ due to the high global warming potential of SF₆, comparable to a coal-fired power plant.
