| Methodology description | This dataset provides Global Warming Potential (GWP) values for refrigerant gases and blends, extracted from Table A-5 of Annex I of the 2022 Assessment Report of the Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Technical Options Committee (RTOC), published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) under the Montreal Protocol. Two types of values are provided: GWP values for pure refrigerant gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, and GWP values for refrigerant blends containing a mixture of Kyoto-covered and non-Kyoto gases. Both are intended for use in reporting fugitive emissions from air-conditioning, refrigeration units, or other atmospheric releases, in accordance with the GHG Protocol. |

ADEME
ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique) is the French Agency for Ecological Transition and offers a wide range of emission factors to support the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in France. These emission factors are used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with various activities, such as energy consumption and transportation.

ICM Database
The Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Database is an Australian-specific life cycle inventory providing carbon footprint intensities for construction and building materials. It includes results from both a process method (based on AusLCI process data) and a hybrid method (combining process data with input-output data to capture upstream activities).
