Refrigeration and global warming. An independent review of the role of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.

Author(s) : March Consult. Group

Type of monograph: Booklet

Summary

This report, carried out by March Consulting Group for the European Fluorocarbon Technical Committee during August-September 1997, presents a review of alternative options for refrigerants and examines ways in which the future global warming impact of refrigeration can be minimised. Comparisons made in this report are based on the "real" situation in 1990, when significant CFC and HCFC emissions were being made. Many publications ignore emissions of ozone-depleting substances and hence give a false picture when comparing future emissions to the 1990 baseline. The extensive report consists of an in-depth analysis of the issue of refrigerant choice in context of the potential for the refrigeration & air conditioning industry to reduce its global warming impact. Contents: background to refrigeration and refrigerants; background to global warming issues; analysis of global warming impact of refrigeration.
