Résumé

An international effort to slow down the ozone depletion process caused by atmospheric emission of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) has resulted in a number of research and development programmes. Japan is currently a source of approximately 15 % of the world's total CFC production. This study focuses on Japan's effort to develop technical options for the CFC emission mitigation. Specific examples are presented to cover technical options for CFC-113 (used as a solvent and cleaning agent) and CFC-12 (used in automobile air conditioning and residential refrigerators). In these examples, an effort has been made to describe the CFC mitigation options for: (1) control technologies; (2) work practices and economics; (3) chemical substitutes; and (4) product substitutes. In particular, new CFC recovery and recycling equipment for CFC-113 is already being marketed in Japan, with a projected market volume reaching $15 billion by 1998. Capital expansion plans have already been established for the production of HCFC-134a (a principal substitute for CFC-12) by the leading Japanese CFC manufacturers. The economic and technical commitments to develop alternative CFCs and alternative products in Japan are anticipated to yield capital-intensive, innovation-rich solutions in the future.
