In order to mitigate the effects of climate change, a lot of research has been devoted to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, develop capture and storage technologies (CCS), as well as direct carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere. The 2014 Summary for Policymakers of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th report (working group III) preponderantly mentions CCS and CDR. Although many scientific publications cite greenhouse gas removal, to our knowledge none of them has yet proposed innovative solutions to effectively remove greenhouse gases other than CO2 from the atmosphere. This article proposes a combination of disrupting techniques to transform or destroy the halogenated gases in the atmosphere, which are harmful for the ozone layer, and possess high global warming potential as well as long atmospheric lifetimes.
