The climate imperative of basing policies on the 20 year GWP of HFC refrigerants.

Author(s) : MATÉ J., KANTER D.

Summary

The intent of this Greenpeace discussion paper is to reignite the discussion on the climate benefits of basing policies on the 20 year global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants rather than on the current standard of 100 year GWP. The following is discussed: the need for a global phase out of HFCs; the rationale for basing policies on the 20 year GWP of HFC refrigerants; the classification system of refrigerants as having high or low GWP needs to be simple, functional and reflect a high level of environmental ambition; further required research regarding the climate benefits of using the 20 year GWP of HFC refrigerants.
