Table 4.7.2 Uncertainties in HFC/PFC calculations (from CRL Energy Ltd, 2004a)

Return to the point in the document where this table is located.

HFC source Uncertainty estimates

Aerosols

± 53% for aerosol imports, ± 30% in locally manufactured aerosols and ± 10% from emissions from MDIs.

Solvents

Not occurring.

Foam

± 50% in activity level and ± 50% in emission factors

Mobile Air Conditioning

Vehicle numbers are assessed to have low uncertainty.

Proportion of vehicles with MAC is highly uncertain and ± 25% on the amount of HFC supplied to the MAC industry.

Stationary Refrigeration/Air Conditioning

± 15% on total HFC/PFC imported and in locally charged equipment. ± 60% in factory charged equipment.

± 20% in total HFC/PFC proportion used for charging new commercial refrigeration units (largest source of uncertainty).

Fire Protection

± 10% on the total amount of HFC installed and ± 30% in the annual emissions factor.
