(Table 6.1 continued on page 57)

Wind

Replace fossil-fuel-fired plants with wind generation potential of 5.3 quads.

CO2 Disposal

Collect and dispose of all CO2 generated by fossil-fuel-fired plants into the deep ocean or depleted gas and oil fields.

NONENERGY EMISSION REDUCTION

Halocarbons

 

Not-in-kind

Modify or replace existing equipment to use non-CFC materials as cleaning and blowing agents, aerosols, and refrigerants.

Conservation

Upgrade equipment and retrain personnel to improve conservation and recycling of CFC materials.

HCFC/HFC-Aerosols, etc.

Substitute cleaning and blowing agents and aerosols with fluorocarbon substitutes.

HFC-Chillers

Retrofit or replace existing chillers to use fluorocarbon substitutes.

HFC-Auto Air Conditioning

Replace existing automobile air conditioners with equipment that utilizes fluorocarbon substitutes.

HFC-Appliance

Replace all domestic refrigerators with those using fluorocarbon substitutes.

HCFC-Other Refrigeration

Replace commercial refrigeration equipment such as that used in supermarkets and transportation with that using fluorocarbon substitutes.

HCFC/HFC-Appliance Insulation

Replace domestic refrigerator insulation with fluorocarbon substitutes.

Agriculture (domestic)

 

Paddy Rice

Eliminate all paddy rice production.

Ruminant Animals

Reduce ruminant animal production by 25%.

Nitrogenous Fertilizers

Reduce nitrogenous fertilizer use by 5%.

Landfill Gas Collection

Reduce landfill gas generation by 60 to 65% by collecting and burning in a flare or energy recovery system.

GEOENGINEERING

Reforestation

Reforest 28.7 Mha of economically or environmentally marginal crop and pasture lands and nonfederal forest lands to sequester 10% of U.S. CO2 emissions.
