Funded Activity Summary
The long-term impact of short-lived, fluorinated pollutants. In 1987, the Montreal Protocol has regulated the manufacture and use of compounds that deplete the ozone layer. Industry has innovated to produce new compounds that do not affect ozone levels, for use in refrigeration and other applications for modern society. We have discovered that the current generation of compounds called hydrofluoroolefins decompose in the atmosphere to produce the worst global warming gas known. We hypothesise that other HFOs will also decay into global warming compounds. In this project we will determine the atmospheric consequences of modern refrigerants. Expected benefits include determination the best and worst compounds for environmental impact, and data to guide industry and legislators.Funded Activity Details
