Honeywell's non-flammable, non-ozone depleting Solstice Propellant has a global warming potential of 6.
Washington, Jan 14 ( ANI ): Scientists investigating the role of streams and rivers in global climate change have suggested that the global warming potential of methane gas exceeds that of nitrous oxide (N2O).
As the 2006 United Nation's report "Livestock's Long Shadow" showed, methane is the second-most important greenhouse gas, and livestock, worldwide, are major contributors to global warming, not only through methane, but also through the nitrous oxide (296 times the global warming potential of CO2) in manure and the deforestation that provides grazing for livestock (livestock accounts for the largest human use of land worldwide).
The new refrigerant, called an HFO, has a global warming potential of just 4 compared to over 1,400 for the current refrigerant, HFC-134a.
The statement added: "Refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment contains Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases, such as HFCs, which have a very massive global warming potential relative to carbon dioxide.
