(a) Definitions. As used in this clauseâGlobal warming potential means how much a given mass of a chemical contributes to global warming over a given time period compared to the same mass of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxideâs global warming potential is defined as 1.0.
High global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons means any hydrofluorocarbons in a particular end use for which EPAâs Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program has identified other acceptable alternatives that have lower global warming potential. The SNAP list of alternatives is found at 40 CFR part 82, subpart G, with supplemental tables of alternatives available at (https://www.epa.gov/snap/).
Hydrofluorocarbons means compounds that only contain hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon.
Ozone-depleting substance, means any substance the Environmental Protection Agency designates in 40 CFR part 82 asâ
-
(1) Class I, including, but not limited to, chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform; or -
