Table 1 Greenhouse gas contributions for example bank destruction options.

From: Quantifying contributions of chlorofluorocarbon banks to emissions and impacts on the ozone layer and climate

2000-2100 cumulative emissions

Scenario 1: business as usual

Scenario 2: destroy banks in 2020

Scenario 3: no banks after 2000

  1. Integrated emissions for bank destruction policy scenarios and their CO2 equivalents for a 100-year time horizon (following values from https://www.ghgprotocol.org/sites/default/files/ghgp/Global-Warming-Potential-Values%20%28Feb%2016%202016%29_1.pdf) The CFC-11* case indicates estimated values for the unreported emissions scenario.
