Implications of the establishment of new hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 (HCFC-22) facilities seeking to obtain certified emission reductions for the destruction of hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23). Technical paper.
This document was prepared by the secretariat in response to the conclusions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice contained in document FCCC/SBSTA/2010/6, paragraph 81, with a view to enhancing understanding of hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23) abatement in hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 (HCFC-22) facilities and to provide an analysis of relevant new developments in other intergovernmental processes. The document provides background information on the matter, summarizes the developments under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and highlights a number of options to address the implications of the establishment of new HCFC-22 facilities seeking to obtain certified emission reductions for the destruction of HFC-23
