PartagerNew projections regarding F-gas emissions
A study recently published by Gschrey et al.(1) predicts that global emissions of Kyoto Protocol fluorinated gases (HFCs + SF6 + PFCs) will amount to 4 GT CO2 eq. in 2050 if no mitigation measures are taken, with HFC emissions only representing 3.65 GT CO2. This represents 5.9% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 (67.7 GT CO2), with HFCs amounting to 5.4%.

This represents 5.9% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 (67.7 GT CO2), with HFCs amounting to 5.4%. This figure is about half as high as HFC emissions projected by Velders et al.(2) in 2009.
According to this study, most F-gas emissions in 2050 will be generated by commercial refrigeration (41%). The stationary air-conditioning sector will account for around 21% and the mobile air-conditioning sector for about 13%.
Developing countries will account for 75% of total emissions of F-gases.
(1) High increase of global F-gas emissions until 2050, Gschrey et al.
(2) The large contribution of projected HFC emissions to future climate forcing, Velders et al.
