As parties to the Montreal Protocol consider an amendment to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), one critical concern is the availability of zero - or low - global warming potential (low - GWP) alternatives to replace high - global warming potential (GWP) HFCs.
The climate benefits of the Montreal Protocol could be significantly offset by projected emissions of HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) used to replace ozone depleting substances.
It's formula is C21H27FO6, making it a hydrofluorocarbon — a category of compounds perhaps best known for replacing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) when their role in the destruction of the ozone layer was discovered.
Unfortunately, what replaced CFCs — hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)-- came with their own host of problems.
As parties to the Montreal Protocol consider an amendment to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), one critical concern is the availability of zero - or low - global warming potential (low - GWP) alternatives to replace high - global warming potential (GWP) HFCs.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were initially replaced with hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and then hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), making HFCs the so - called «grandchildren» of the Montreal Protocol.
HCFCs will eventually be replaced by substances called hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs, which do not destroy ozone at all.
Although the Montreal Protocol eliminated the use of most gases which were damaging the ozone layer, its job is not done as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)-- the chemicals which have replaced ozone - depleting substances — are now destroying our climate.
However, the Assessment finds that climate benefits of the Protocol could potentially be offset by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) emissions, used to replace ozone depleting substances (ODS).
