SF6: the Hidden Giant of Super Pollutants

AlliedOffsets and Planet2050 present a deep dive into SF6 — a super pollutant 24,300x more potent than CO2, yet still overlooked in climate policy and markets.

The report explores SF6’s role in carbon standards, emerging methodologies and reduction pathways.

More about the SF6 report

SF6 is the most powerful greenhouse gas covered by the Paris Agreement — with 24,300 times the warming potential of CO2. Still, it remains largely overlooked in climate markets and regulation.

This report by Planet2050 and AlliedOffsets breaks down the role of SF6 across carbon crediting systems, emerging standards, and policy frameworks. It highlights where SF6 fits into the next phase of market design — and what to watch as Article 6, carbon tax and trading schemes, and non-CO2 methodologies evolve.

If you're working in carbon markets, finance, or climate policy, this is your chance to get up to speed on the Hidden Giant of Super Pollutants.
