Referring to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Vol. 3 - Industrial Process and Product Use below.

“The Tier 3 emission-factor methods in Chapters 8 as well as the Tier 2 emission-factor methods (Tier 2a methods) in Chapter 7 require that the country and/or its facilities keep detailed records of THE CHOSEN METHODS for verifying and validating the emission factors. If necessary, emission factors will have to be adjusted to ensure that emission estimates are ultimately linked to measurements of actual gas loss (e.g., as determined by chemical sales and/or equipment recharging)."

TABLE 1.7 - CHOOSING BETWEEN THE MASS-BALANCE AND EMISSION-FACTOR APPROACHES http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/pdf/3_Volume3/V3_1_Ch1_Introduction.pdf

“Production refers to production of new chemical. Reprocessing of recovered fluid should not be included. Imports and exports include bulk chemicals and may or may not include the quantity of chemical contained in products, such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, packaging materials, insulating foams, fire extinguishers, etc.

 . . . . . . There are two versions that formerly had been labelled Tier 1 (a and b) depending upon whether HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 in products are taken into account. In the former Tier 1a, chemicals contained in products ARE NOT CONSIDERED. In the former Tier 1b, chemicals contained in products ARE CONSIDERED."

ANNEX 2 - POTENTIAL EMISSIONS (FORMERLY TIER 1 FOR CONSUMPTION OF HFCs, PFCs, AND SF6) http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/pdf/3_Volume3/V3_x_An2_Potential_Emissions.pdf

Methods of calculating the emissions vary. In the meantime, different methods would have great impacts on the results. Emissions of CO2 in GDP are useless to our knowledgeable environmental activists. Our politicians are going to perform us with a great show in the Copenhagen climate submit.

Ones must realize that they are insincere.
