An inventory of emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6) has been estimated for Ireland for 1998.
Such inventories are required to be reported under the United Nations Framework Convention on ClimateChange (UNFCCC). This inventory has been compiled through data obtained from relevant sectors and in accordance with UNFCCC guidelines. Contact has been made by phone with 154 companies in Ireland, the UK and Europe.
Each of the industrial gases has different global warming potentials. Therefore, overall estimates are reported interms of kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. Estimates in terms of tonnes of gas are also includedwithin the report. Estimated usage, which is also termed ‘potential emissions’, for each of the gases in Ireland in 1998 across all sectors is shown in Table E-1 in terms of kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
Full executive summary available in report.
