Abstract:  This document is the final report for the Global Warming Studies: Global
Warming Impact Model (GWIM) Project (S69C). The purpose of this project was to
develop a model that would provide a tool for evaluating global warming
benefits of various perfluorocompound (PFC) destruction/decomposition
abatement technologies. This report documents the approach, logic,
assumptions, and algorithms used in the development of the model. It also
provides a user's guide for the model and a copy of the model's software in
Microsoft Excel version 5.0. The results of this project will help identify
the process variables that have the greatest impact on global warming gas
emissions.
