Global emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases 2005–2050 with abatement potentials and costs
This study uses the GAINS model framework to estimate current and future emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), their abatement potentials, and costs for twenty source sectors and 162 countries and regions, which are aggregated to produce global estimates. Global F-gas (HFCs, PFCs, and...

| description | This study uses the GAINS model framework to estimate
current and future emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases),
their abatement potentials, and costs for twenty source sectors and 162
countries and regions, which are aggregated to produce global estimates. Global
F-gas (HFCs, PFCs, and SF<sub>6</sub>) emissions are estimated at 0.7 Pg CO<sub>2</sub> eq.
in 2005 with an expected increase to 3.7 Pg CO<sub>2</sub> eq. in 2050 if
application of control technology remains at the current level. There are
extensive opportunities to reduce emissions using existing technology and
alternative substances with low global warming potential. Estimates show
that it would be technically feasible to reduce cumulative F-gas emissions
from 81 to 11 Pg CO<sub>2</sub> eq. between 2018 and 2050. A reduction in cumulative
emissions to 23 Pg CO<sub>2</sub> eq. is estimated to be possible at a marginal abatement
cost below 10 EUR t<sup>−1</sup> CO<sub>2</sub> eq. We also find that future F-gas
abatement is expected to become relatively more costly for developing than
developed countries due to differences in the sector contribution to
emissions and abatement potentials. |
