Refrigerants used in commercial systems are potent greenhouse gases, with an average global warming potential over 3,000 times higher than CO₂. Many #refrigerants can be purified and reused, reducing the need for new refrigerant production and thereby cutting associated emissions and waste. Despite these benefits, less than 5% of recoverable refrigerants are reclaimed due to high costs and operational complexity. A #circulareconomy approach ensures these #superpollutants are managed sustainably to protect the planet. Let’s explore how refrigerant reclamation can drive #emissionsreductions and economic growth.

Meet R290! 🌟 Also known as propane, R290 is a natural refrigerant that's making waves for its super low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3! It's a tiny number compared to older refrigerants, making it a champion for our planet. 🌍 Not only is R290 great for the environment, but it’s also a powerhouse when it comes to energy efficiency. Imagine running your cooling and heating systems while saving on energy bills! 💸 Plus, with more companies and consumers going green, everyone is transitioning to R290. #EcoFriendlyLiving #SustainableHome #HeatPumps #EnergyEfficiency #GreenLiving

In 1985, Carl Sagan told the US Congress (https://lnkd.in/gm-Mi-Yh) that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Unfortunately, what Mr. Sagan (and many others) miss is that what causes most of the damage is PM2.5 which has a 300-1,000 times GWP (Global Warming Potential) of CO2 and in transport is caused by fuel not burning in the engine. Nothing more. Simple, quick, easy and inexpensive to mitigate. PS: The WHO did report on this in their CPO24 Special Report.
