Hfc - 23 Emissions from Hcfc - 22 Production
نویسنده
چکیده
The compound HFC-23 (Trifluoromethane or CHF3), a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential of 11,700, is generated as a by-product during the manufacture of HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane or CHClF2). This paper outlines options and issues for good practice guidance in the national inventory management of HFC-23 emissions from HCFC-22 production. The issues presented are organized into three sections: methodological issues, reporting and documentation, and inventory quality.

Recent increases in global HFC-23 emissions
[1] Firn-air and ambient air measurements of CHF3 (HFC23) from three excursions to Antarctica between 2001 and 2009 are used to construct a consistent Southern Hemisphere (SH) atmospheric history. The results show atmospheric mixing ratios of HFC-23 continuing to increase through 2008. Mean global emissions derived from this data for 2006–2008 are 13.5 ± 2 Gg/yr (200 ± 30 10 gCO2equivalent/yr, ...
متن کاملHFC - 23 ( CHF 3 ) emission trend response to HCFC - 22 ( CHClF 2 ) production and recent HFC - 23 emission abatement measures
HFC-23 (also known as CHF3, fluoroform or trifluoromethane) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), with a global warming potential (GWP) of 14 800 for a 100-year time horizon. It is an unavoidable by-product of HCFC22 (CHClF2, chlorodifluoromethane) production. HCFC22, an ozone depleting substance (ODS), is used extensively in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning, in the extruded polystyren...
متن کاملAn analytical inversion method for determining regional and global emissions of greenhouse gases: Sensitivity studies and application to halocarbons
A new analytical inversion method has been developed to determine the regional and global emissions of long-lived atmospheric trace gases. It exploits in situ measurement data from three global networks and builds on backward simulations with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model. The emission information is extracted from the observed concentration increases over a baseline that is itself obj...
متن کاملEmission estimates of HCFCs and HFCs in California from the 2010 CalNex study
[1] The CalNex 2010 (California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change) study was designed to evaluate the chemical composition of air masses over key source regions in California. During May to June 2010, air samples were collected on board a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) WP-3D aircraft over the South Coast Air Basin of California (SoCAB) and the Centr...
متن کاملGlobal emissions of refrigerants HCFC-22 and HFC-134a: unforeseen seasonal contributions.
HCFC-22 (CHClF2) and HFC-134a (CH2FCF3) are two major gases currently used worldwide in domestic and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning. HCFC-22 contributes to stratospheric ozone depletion, and both species are potent greenhouse gases. In this work, we study in situ observations of HCFC-22 and HFC-134a taken from research aircraft over the Pacific Ocean in a 3-y span [HIaper-Pole-to...
