10 NOAA AGAGE Emissions with Lifetime = 26 yr Results of ground-based in-situ networks for Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) issue Emissions derived from measurements

11 Potential Emissions = Production – Feedstock Emissions derived from UNEP reporting Results of ground-based in-situ networks for Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) issue

12 Possible reasons for the discrepancy: 1.Emissions from production/feedstock/destruction? 2.Emissions from old industrial sites/landfills? 3.Estimated atmospheric lifetime (26 yr) too small? Possible reasons for the discrepancy: 1.Emissions from production/feedstock/destruction? 2.Emissions from old industrial sites/landfills? 3.Estimated atmospheric lifetime (26 yr) too small?

20 Emissions as CO 2 -Equivalents: Ozone-depleting substances and HFCs

21 Emissions as CO 2 -Equivalents: Ozone-depleting substances and HFCs

22 Proposal to amend the Montreal Protocol to include HFCs http://ozone.unep.org/Meeting_Documents/mop/22mop/MOP-22-5E.pdf

23 Long-lived ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) are mainly behaving as expected CCl 4 sources estimated from measurements are higher than reconciled by inventories New ODSs have been detected in the atmosphere, but their influence on stratospheric ozone is still negligible HFCs as replacement compounds are increasing and CO2 equivalent emissions are similar to CFCs and HCFCs Continuous measurements of ozone-depleting substances are needed to check trends and compliance with international Protocols Conclusions
