Fluorinated compound production

The category at business/processes/production/fluorinatedcompounds provides a methodology for calculating emissions of fluorinated compounds (FC) associated with their production. See the following subcategories for further details.

Production-based methodology

The category at business/processes/production/fluorinatedcompounds provides a methodology for calculating emissions of fluorinated compounds (FC) associated with their production, based on default emissions factors relating to the production of HFC's, PFC's and SF₆. Users have the option of returning absolute quantity of emissions, or - by specifying the particular type of FC fluid used - returning the emissions expressed as CO₂e. This methodology represents the Tier 1 approach described by the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (NGGIP).
