Project KET4F-GAS

Why should you be concerned about them? Because the global warming potential of these gases is up to 23,000 times higher than the carbon dioxide one. Moreover, they account for around 6% of the European Union’s greenhouse gas emissions and, if their use is not controlled, the increase in these emissions since 2005 could be almost 140% by 2020.
