Project Description
A-Gas South Korea 1, involves the acquisition and destruction of the ozone depleting substance (ODS) CFC-12.The CFC destroyed in the project was collected from a refrigerant and reclamation facility in South Korea. CFC-12 has historically been used in domestic refrigeration systems, liquid chillers, dehumidifiers, and other appliances. This material was transported from South Korea to the final destination of A-Gas US Inc., located in Bowling Green, Ohio. In its Bowling Green facility, A-Gas operates an argon plasma arc destruction facility that exceeds the Montreal Protocol’s Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) requirements for refrigerant destruction.
Risk of Potential Reversals
This project has little to no risk of reversal because its avoided emissions are not subject to being undone.
