If adjusting HFC, PFC and SF6 estimates from the consumption of halocarbons and SF6, consideration should be given to the uncertainty of sales figures (e.g. for sales of these chemicals to the foam blowing industry) and other parameters (such as the composition of the mix in coolants) as given in the IPCC good practice guidance.

Industrial processes The expert review team should consider the possibility of double counting (for instance, the use of lime in iron and steel production) and avoid any double counting through the application of adjustments.

Their objective is to avoid land degradation and desertification through improper agricultural practices, especially in arid, semi arid, and sub humid regions.
