MEMORANDUM: 2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Data on HCFC-22 Production Byproducts

TO: Air Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0354


This memorandum includes data submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Subpart O of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (40 CFR Part 98). Subpart O covers HFC-23 emissions associated with HCFC-22 production. Specifically, the following processes are covered by this regulation:

   * Processes that produce HCFC - 22 (chlorodifluoromethane or CHClF2) using chloroform and hydrogen fluoride. 
   * HFC - 23 destruction processes located at HCFC - 22 production facilities. 
   * HFC - 23 destruction processes that destroy more than 2.14 metric tons of HFC - 23 per year and that are not located at HCFC - 22 production facilities. 

Since there is no minimum production threshold, all HCFC-22 production processes in the U.S. (and therefore all U.S. producers of HCFC-22) are covered by Subpart O reporting.
