Transitioning away from refrigerants that drive global warming is possible, study says

Image: The GESPA group at IQS and the URV are working together on the STOP-F-GAS project, where they are studying, within the framework of the circular economy, the development of new technologies for absorbing fluorinated gases for their reuse and obtaining new, more sustainable refrigerant products. In the Kigali Amendment of 2016 to the Montreal Protocol, strict new deadlines were established to eliminate the use of various fluorinated gases. These gases – widely used in refrigeration systems, air conditioning and insulation, and other uses – have a very high global warming potential (GWP) that cannot be accepted within the current scenario of accelerated climate change the world is undergoing.
