Methodology Element Information

Methodology element name Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions by Recovering and Destroying Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) from Products
Methodology element category Methodology
Description The methodology Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions by Recovering and Destroying Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) from Products is applicable to project activities recovering and destroying ODS from products where the baseline scenario is the partial or total atmospheric release of ODS.

The methodology can separately be applied either for ODS refrigerants and/or ODS blowing agents. In the case of ODS blowing agents, the methodology is only applicable to project activities recovering and destroying ODS blowing agents contained in insulation foam or refrigerator appliances. The ODS blowing agent must be extracted from the foam to a concentrated form prior to destruction. This must be done under negative pressure to ensure that fugitive release of ODS cannot occur.
