A new study points to a link between the long-term fate of HFO degradation products in the atmosphere and the formation of HFC-23, a potent global warming gas with a 100-year GWP of 14,600 (IPCC, AR6).
The study – “On the Chemical Pathways Influencing the Effective Global Warming Potential of Commercial Hydrofluoroolefin Gases” – was published April 4 in the journal ChemSusChem. Its author is Gabriel Salierno, a Green Chemist at the Toxics Use Reduction...

ATMOsphere, publisher of NaturalRefrigerants.com, has released a new fact sheet detailing the impact of the European Union’s recently revised F-gas Regulation on the refrigeration sector.
The regulation, which became law on March 11, mandates a complete phase out of HFCs across the EU by 2050. This will occur in stages, with the first bans affecting the refrigeration industry beginning on January 1, 2025....
