This data-file aggregates technical data into the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of hydrogen, in order to draw conclusions for decision-makers in the energy transition. So what is hydrogen GWP versus…
…GWP of 84x CO2, 50-year GWP of 48x CO2 and a 100-year GWP of 28.5x CO2. There is further uncertainty around the numbers, as methane that enters the atmosphere may…
…than CO2. The Kigali Amendment was signed by UN Member States in 1989, and commits to phase down high-GWP HFCs by 85% by 2036. This has been supplemented by F-gas…
…(note here, models here). Finally, the gas industry is bending over backwards to stem methane leaks, due to methane’s GWP of 25x CO2, but hydrogen itself may have a GWP…
…emit anywhere from 0.1 kg/ton to 10 kg/ton of N2O, a powerful greenhouse gas, which a 298x higher global warming potential (GWP) than CO2. Companies in the nitric acid value…
…leaking 1.2% of the methane from a gas value chain (apples to apples, using a methane GWP of 25x). In other words, if a gas value chain is leaking less…
