The industrial processes sector consists of industries that emit fluorinated gases, including refrigeration and air conditioning, aerosol, solvents, fire retardants, magnesium production, some electronics manufacturing, and electric power systems. This sector also includes nitric and adipic acid production, which emits nitrous oxide (N₂O).

Non-CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions from these sectors account for approximately 19% of projected 2030 global non-CO₂ emissions, or approximately 2,478 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). Assuming full implementation of current technology, the global abatement potential for the industrial processes sector is projected to be 1,597 MtCO₂e in 2030.
