Traduction de «Global warming potential intensity » (Anglais → Français) :

In the case of ozone-depleting substances, what we find is that as we have transited from ozone-depleting substances with a fairly high ODP, ozone-depleting potential, as we have transited then from the bad guys to not-so-bad guys, like halon, to CFCs—well, it's not the same thing, but halon and CFCs, to HCFCs, etc.—as the ozone-depleting potential decreases, we're picking this up, we see that the newer substances, which have zero ozone-depleting potential, have a global-warming potential.

Mr. Comtois: We measure refrigerants in our chillers, which have a global warming potential that is equivalent.

In non-energy, you have methane, nitrous oxide and other chemicals that have global warming potential that are a multiple of CO. As a result, we have a universal measure that we use, which is called COequivalent; and that is how we measure the emissions.

What benefit will accrue from that remains to be precisely seen, but all of us, whether we're electricity-dependent, in some regions on coal, or we're developing more global warming gas-intensive oil options, we will deploy technologies that will raise prices make no mistake about that in order to achieve whatever is decided is the requirement for dealing with global warming gases.

Fluorinated greenhouse gases have a much higher global warming potential that CO2 (the global warming potential is calculated according to the warming potential of a given gas over a period of a hundred years in comparison to a kilogram of CO2).

redefinition of the objective of the regulation: to contain, prevent and thereby reduce emissions of the fluorinated greenhouse gases; introduction of the definition of "stationary application or equipment"; for containment purposes, inclusion of the circuits of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment into the list of stationary applications; replacement of the word "inspections" by the word "checks" (article 3); for the producer reporting purposes, the addition of two categories of applications to be identified : solvents and fire protection; operators of the applications containing 3 kg or more shall maintain records of the relevant information specifically identifying the separate stationary equipment; labels should ...[+++] indicate that the product or equipment contains FGG covered by the Kyoto protocol and their quantity, while instruction manuals should provide more information on the FGG contained in those products and equipment, including on their global warming potential; placing on the market prohibition: stricter national measures adopted by 31 December 2005 may be maintained until 31 December 2012, subject to notification to the Commission, together with justification, and compatibility with the Treaty; the procedures set out in the Treaty would apply to the introduction of any new stricter national measures; a new item to be subject to review: the need for further action by the European Community and its Member States in the light of existing and new international commitments regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; introduction of a date – 31 December 2008 – for the Commission to present, if appropriate, legislative proposals relating to air conditioning and refrigeration systems reviewing this regulation; promotion of alternatives: Member States may promote the placing on the market of equipment which use alternatives to gases with a high global warming potential and which are efficient, innovative and further reduce the ...
