Résumé

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), introduced under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer as ozone-friendly chemicals, are estimated to add the equivalent of 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2015. This report shows that the production and use of these chemicals is skyrocketing in China, where EIA's investigations have revealed uncontrolled production and trade of these and other refrigerant gases. Extract from the table of contents: ozone depletion; climate change; the Montreal Protocol; the Kyoto Protocol; the urgent issue of HCFCs and HFCs under the Montreal Protocol; skyrocketing HCFC-22 production; the climate impact of HCFCs and HFCs; conclusions and recommendations.
