ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:

ODP: Ozone Depleting Potential
GWP: Global Warming Potential
UNEP: UN Environment Program

Hi Anna Laura,

Acronyms above are widely used to determine phase- out of substances with ozone-depleting and global warming potential.

To my knowledge, industrial caculations are based on the ODP and GWP equivalents, as defined by the UN Environment Program
(UNEP).

Should you need a full report and more descriptive literature, please do contact me by e-mail, I have been translating for the UN and must confess... I also have personal interests...the environmental protection of our only home... planet Earth.


Good Luck!

Definitions from Glossary of Ozone Protection Terms


Explanation:

Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
A relative index indicating the extent to which a chemical product may cause ozone depletion. The reference level of 1 is the potential of CFC-11 and CFC-12 to cause ozone depletion. If a product has an ozone depletion potential of 0.5, a given weight of the product in the atmosphere would, in time, deplete half the ozone that the same weight of CFC-11 would deplete. The ozone depletion potentials are calculated from mathematical models which take into account factors such as the stability of the product, the rate of diffusion, the quantity of depleting atoms per molecule and the effect of ultraviolet light and other radiation on the molecules. The substances implicated generally contain chlorine or bromine.

Global Warming Potential (GWP)
The relative contribution of certain substances (greenhouse gases), e.g. carbon dioxide, methane, CFCs, HCFCs and halons, to the global warming effect when the substances are released to the atmosphere by combustion of oil, gas and coal (CO2), direct emission, leakage from refrigerating plants etc. The standard measure of GWP is relative to carbon dioxide (GWP=1.0), which is consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indexing approach. The GWP can be given with 20, 100 or 500 years integration time horizon. There is not a complete agreement within the scientific community on what is the proper time horizon, but 100 years is most commonly used.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
Through the UNEP DTIE OzonAction Programme, UNEP is one of the Multilateral Fund's implementing agencies.
