HFC-23
HFC-23, or trichlorofluoromethane, is a greenhouse gas that is a byproduct of the production of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It is known for its high global warming potential, being over 14,000 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
Due to its significant impact on climate change, efforts are being made to reduce HFC-23 emissions. This includes capturing and destroying the gas during its production process, as well as international agreements like the Montreal Protocol that aim to phase out harmful substances contributing to global warming.
