Ozone-depleting substance emissions by activity

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Ozone-depleting substance emissions by activity is the physical mass of each named substance emitted from production, by-production, destruction, feedstock or process-agent use, storage, transport or container transfer during the previous calendar year.

Reporting boundary

Actual emissions reported separately by named ozone-depleting substance and activity under Regulation (EU) 2024/590. Production, stocks, imports, exports, use, recycling, reclamation and destruction quantities are not relabelled as emissions.

Unit meaning: This metric is reported as a structured table; each field carries the unit stated in the table fields below.

Table fields and units

  • Named ozone-depleting substance, isomer treatment, annex class, actor role and activity
  • Actual emitted mass (kg [named ODS] — kilograms; or t [named ODS] — metric tonnes, where 1 t = 1,000 kg)
  • Facility, source and transport, storage or container-transfer inclusion
  • Measurement or estimation method, previous calendar year and law edition
  • Production, trade, stocks, use, recycling, reclamation, destruction and CFC-11 equivalent remain separate

Published dimensions

  • Ozone-depleting substance emission row
  • Named substance and isomer treatment
  • ODS annex and substance class
  • Producer, destroyer or user role and activity
  • Facility and emission source
  • Transport, storage and container-transfer inclusion
  • Measurement or estimation method
  • Previous calendar year and ODS-law edition

No single formula

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Regulation (EU) 2024/590 Article 24 and its substance and reporting annexes provide the binding actual-emissions structure; E-PRTR and GRI 305-6 are retained only as scoped list and contrast evidence.

  • Named ozone-depleting substance, isomer treatment, annex and class
  • Producer, destroyer, feedstock-user or process-agent-user role and activity
  • Actual emitted physical mass in kilograms or metric tonnes of the named substance, where 1 t equals 1,000 kg
  • Facility, source and transport, storage or container-transfer inclusion
  • Measurement or estimation method, previous calendar year and law edition
  • Separation from production, trade, stock, use, destruction and CFC-11-equivalent quantities

Record-specific limitations

  • Substance lists, isomer treatment and ozone-depletion-potential values are edition-sensitive.
  • Physical emitted mass does not itself quantify ozone-depletion impact.
  • The E-PRTR HCFC, CFC and halon threshold subset is not the full ODS-law substance list.
  • GRI 305-6 production, import and export quantities in CFC-11 equivalent are not actual emissions.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
