Persistent emissions of ozone-depleting carbon tetrachloride from China during 2011–2021 - Nature Geoscience

Abstract Lingering global emissions of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are slowing ozone layer recovery. Estimates of global CCl4 emissions based on observed atmospheric mole fractions and inverse modelling (top down) exceed the emissions derived from known sources (bottom up) by ~30–40%. Here we derived CCl4 emissions from China for 2011–2021 using long-term atmospheric observations from a network of sites from across China and a top-down approach.

| Nature Verified
Abstract HFC-23 (trifluoromethane) is a potent greenhouse gas released to the atmosphere primarily as a by-product of HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane) synthesis. Since 2020, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol has required Parties to destroy their HFC-23 emissions to the extent possible. Here, we present updated HFC-23 emissions estimated from atmospheric observations.
