Without immediate action, reachable banks will emit approximately 6 billion tons of CO2 equivalent by 2015--- offsetting and surpassing the 5 Gt CO2 eq reduction sought during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.

CFC refrigerants and foam blowing agents originating in US (Domestic)** 2. CFC refrigerants originating in Article 5 countries Both protocols require destruction in US ** ARB adopted domestic protocol for AB 32 offsets
