Is HCFC production increasing?
As of 2007, production of HCFCs is dramatically increasing, particularly in China and India. HCFC production by developing countries in 1989 was less than 11370 ODP tonnes, but by 2006 this had increased to more than 26,940 ODP tonnes. Of the production in 2006, China was responsible for just over 90 percent of this HCFC production. In developed countries HCFC production has fallen from more than 13,140 ODP tonnes to around 7000 ODP tonnes over the same period. Despite the reduction in developed countries, the total HCFC global production has more than doubled over this period, with total HCFC production standing at more than 34,400 ODP tonnes in 2006. It is expected that this dramatic rate of growth will increase and it is estimated that in 2015 HCFC and HFC (hydrofluorocarbons) emissions will be in the region of two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
