Project Description
The Tradewater International Thailand 6 project destroyed CFC-12, a refrigerant and ozone-depleting substance (ODS) that had been illegally smuggled into Thailand and seized by government customs officials. Due to limited resources, the Thai government had no end-of-life solution for the potent greenhouse gas it was storing. Had it not been destroyed, the refrigerant, which has a global warming potential that is more than 10,000 times that of carbon dioxide, would have leaked into the atmosphere over time.
Risk of Potential Reversals
This project has little to no risk of reversal because its avoided emissions are not subject to being undone.
