Abstract:

This report records the research in the single product area of flexible urethane foams. It is used to support the Rand Corporation's original report: PB81-146698, Adele R. Palmer, et al., Economic Implications of Regulating Chlorofluorocarbon Emissions from Nonaerosol Applications. It serves as a detailed exposition of the data and of the methods used to proceed from the historical data to the analysis of policies that might reduce CFC emissions. Flexible urethane foam plants are a significant source of CFC emissions. Each plant represents an extremely large point source of emissions, with hundreds of thousands of pounds of CFC-11 used and emitted annually per facility. Either CFC recovery or methylene chloride conversion could substantially reduce CFC releases to the atmosphere. The use of CFC in foam products is very sensitive to the price of CFC-11. The analysis suggests that substantial reductions in use can be induced by moderate price increases.
