  • Before a major rewrite of reportEmi, we had:
c("Emi|C2F6",
  "Emi|C6F14",
  "Emi|CF4",
  "Emi|F-Gases",
  "Emi|HFC",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC125",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC134a",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC143a",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC227ea",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC23",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC245fa",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC32",
  "Emi|HFC|HFC43-10",
  "Emi|PFC",
  "Emi|SF6 (kt SF6/yr)")

c("Emi|GHG|+|F-Gases",
  "Emi|CF4", 
  "Emi|C2F6", 
  "Emi|C6F14", 
  "Emi|HFC",
  "Emi|SF6")

I particularly noticed that Emi|PFC was missing, but also the HFC subcategories.

@fschreyer said that as these variables were reported in their own unit, Emi|XXX (unit Xt) is fine, whereas if a variable is reported in in Einheit MtCo2eq/yr, it should be Emi|GHG|F-Gases|+|XXX MtCO2eq/yr to allow for summation checks.

We have to keep in mind that F-Gases are part of industry process emissions Emi|GHG|+++|Industrial Processes. Avoid double-counting.
