Other Greenhouse Gases

Nitrous Oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural activities such as soil management and animal manure management and industrial activities such as nitric acid and adipic acid production, as well as small amounts during combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste. N2O has a global warming potential that is 310 times higher than CO2.

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS): Ozone depleting substances include refrigerants and foam blowing agents such as R-11, R-12, R-22 and R-114. ODS have historically been used in industrial applications such as air conditioning, refrigeration and foam blowing. These substances have very high global warming potentials, as much as 10,900 times that of CO2.
