Climate change and industrial F-gases: A critical and systematic review of developments, sociotechnical systems and policy options for reducing synthetic greenhouse gas emissions
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews
May 2021
- Humanity depends on F-gases for many industrial and commercial applications.
- F-gases are “super pollutants” given their severe and powerful impact on the climate.
- Uncontrolled growth in F-gas emissions could offset the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Accord.
- New innovations and processes can greatly reduce F-gas manufacturing and use.
- There are several policies and regulations that can be employed to further abate F-gas emissions.
