Comment | Refrigerants today are often thousands of times more polluting than carbon dioxide. The most common refrigerant, R-22 has a 100 year Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1,810 almost 2000 times the potency of carbon dioxide, so just 1 pound of R-22 is nearly as potent as a ton of carbon dioxide. The most common replacement for R-22 in supermarket systems R-404A, is more than twice as potent a greenhouse gas than R-22. Just a single pound of R-404A is as potent as roughly 2 tons of CO2. New low GWP technologies are available and solutions are advancing rapidly and are available today. California's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 compels aggressive measures now. We do not have time to choose lesser measures. The clock is ticking! |
