Global revenue generated from this industry is forecast to grow from 350 million USD in 2019 to more than 1 trillion USD by 2040 (Morgan Stanley, 2020). Such rapid growth demands detailed understanding of the potential impact on the protective stratospheric ozone (O 3 ) layer and climate. —Ryan et al.

As these chemicals were phased-down due to international agreements limiting their use, they were replaced by other synthesized gases that can still be harmful to the ozone layer—and are also greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

The analysis used the MIT US Regional Energy Policy (USREP) model to evaluate the effect of a carbon tax as part of a Federal budget deal. They also found that, in addition to economic benefits, a carbon tax reduces carbon dioxide emissions to 14% below 2006 levels by 2020, and 20% below by 2050. —Rausch and Reilly (2012).
