Refrigerant Gas & Carbon Price Summary - April 2012

Refrigerant gases consisting of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's), also referred to as Synthetic Greenhouse
Gases, were developed to replace ozone depleting refrigerants. Globally, the environmental focus has now
switched from 'ozone' to 'global warming potential' (GWP) and HFC based refrigerants are categorised as
high global warming gases.
