a Annual mass emissions from various life cycle stages; b corresponding annual GWP-weighted emissions. Contributions (%) by mas (c–k) and GWP-weighted emissions (l–t) of each region, end-use sector, and fluorocarbon categories across life cycle stages. A5 parties include China and other A5 parties, while non-A5 parties include Japan, North America (Canada and the USA only), European non-A5 and other non-A5 parties. End-use sectors include domestic refrigerator and freezer (DRF), room air conditioner (RAC), mobile air conditioner (MAC), industrial and commercial refrigeration (ICR), polyurethane rigid (PUR) foam, and extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam. The life cycle stages include manufacture, use and end-of-life (EoL).
