Dichloromethane has a range of uses including as a solvent. Its use as a feedstock for HFC 32 production is insignificant in the context of the scenarios presented in the Hossaini paper, and this use will have essentially no impact on the recovery of the ozone layer. The Hossiani paper calculates current emissions of dichloromethane to be 1.2 million tonnes/year. The paper contains three scenarios with emissions estimated at between 1.2 million tonnes and 10 million tonnes by 2050. However even if the annual production of HFC 32 were to be 1 million tonnes in 2050, the emissions from use of dichloromethane as feedstock is estimated at 8000 tonnes annually based on a 0.5% emission factor. This represents between 0.1% and 1% of the dichloromethane emissions calculated in the Hossaini paper for the three scenarios.
