Summary

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an old refrigerant, first patented in the United Kingdom in 1850 by Alexander Twinning, where it was subsequently used in air-conditioning and marine applications. With the development of the CFC, HCFC, and HFC synthetic
refrigerants beginning around 1930, CO2 decreased in popularity, all but disappear-ing by 1960. Over the next two decades or so, it was experimentally determined that CFC and HCFC refrigerants were depleting the earth’s upper atmospheric ozone layer at a rate that would likely cause its disappearance.
