Evaluation of offset protocols for destroying CFC refrigerants
This research project studies the quality and effectiveness of offset protocols for destroying chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants, chemicals that contribute to both ozone depletion and climate change. My work involves reviewing project documents to collect data on total destruction volumes and researching the use of CFCs as feedstocks in industrial processes. This research supports a broader effort to evaluate whether carbon credits from these projects reflect real and measurable climate benefits.
