Greenhouse gas mitigation and electricity saving potential from replacing refrigerants in Thai refrigerator

Refrigerant leak from refrigerator production and operation is one of major sources that causes greenhouse gases (GHG) emission due to the high global warming potential (GWP) from existing Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) which is hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants in Thailand. There are three factors t...
