EPA Announces New Actions To Curb Potent Greenhouse Gases/ EPA GreenChill Partners Join Industry Leaders To Drive The Transition To Climate-Friendly Refrigerants
2014-09-22 11:16:05| pollutiononline Home Page
Building on the President’s Climate Action Plan, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders at the White House recently to recognize progress and take new steps to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning
EPA Announces New Actions to Curb Potent Greenhouse Gases
2014-09-16 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
EPA announced 3 new actions that will help support transition to climate-friendly alternatives to hydrofluorocarbons. They include: listing additional fluorinated and non-fluorinated chemicals as acceptable alternatives; identifying refrigerant management options to reduce HFC emissions from air conditioning and refrigeration equipment; and organizing with stakeholder engagement a series of sector-specific workshops on seeking transitions away from high global warming potential HFCs.

A more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, methane emissions leap as Earth warms
2014-03-28 01:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. New research in the journal Nature indicates that for each degree that Earth's temperature rises, the amount of methane entering the atmosphere from microorganisms dwelling in lake sediment and freshwater wetlands -- the primary sources of the gas -- will increase several times. As temperatures rise, the relative increase of methane emissions will outpace...

Newly Detected Greenhouse Gas Is 7,000 Times More Potent Than CO2
2013-12-13 01:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: A greenhouse gas that is thought to have a potent impact on global warming was detected in trace amounts in the atmosphere for the first time, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of Toronto discovered very small amounts of an industrial chemical, known as perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA), in the atmosphere. While only traces of PFTBA were measured, the chemical has a much higher potential to affect climate change on a molecule-by-molecule basis than carbon dioxide (CO2), the...
