Class I Ozone-Depleting Substances

The list of Class II substances (the HCFCs) is here.

Global warming potentials (GWPs) for selected non-ozone-depleting substances are provided in another table.

Why are there three values given for the ODPs and four values given for the GWPs?

The numbers in the “ODP-1” column are from Table 1-5 of The Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 2002, a report of the World Meteorological Association’s Global Ozone Research and Monitoring Project. The ODPs in the “ODP-1” column that were not in Table 1-5 of the 2002 report have not been updated since 1998 and are from The Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 1998. The “ODP-2” column numbers are from the Montreal Protocol, and the “ODP-3” column numbers are from 40 CFR Part 82, stratospheric ozone protection regulations required by title VI of the Clean Air Act amendments.

All GWP values represent global warming potential over a 100-year time horizon. The numbers in the “GWP-1” column are from Table 1-6 of The Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 2002, a report of the World Meteorological Association’s Global Ozone Research and Monitoring Project. The GWPs in the “GWP-1” column that were not provided Table 1-6 of the 2002 report have not been updated since 1998 and are from The Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 1998. “GWP-2” column numbers are from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC Exit EPA ) Second Assessment Report: Climate Change 1995, “GWP-3” column numbers are from the IPCC Third Assessment Report: Climate Change 2001, and “GWP-4” column numbers are from 40 CFR Part 82, stratospheric ozone protection regulations required by title VI of the Clean Air Act amendments.

Under section 602 of the Clean Air Act, EPA was required to list in the Federal Register the GWPs for ozone-depleting substances. That list was published on January 19, 1996.

Blanks in the data indicate that the information was not shown in the original source.

1 The Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 2002 updated a limited number of GWPs and ODPs (semiempirical values for all updated ODPs except CFC-114 and CFC-115, which are model-derived). All GWPs and ODPs that were not updated in 2002 are 1998 values that have not changed.

Class II ozone-depleting chemicals are listed in a different table.
