I nuovi refrigeranti #HFO, sempre più utilizzati nei #climatizzatori, non danneggiano lo strato di ozono come i CFC, vietati da tempo, né sono potenti gas serra come gli HFC che li hanno sostituiti in un secondo tempo. Tuttavia, una volta rilasciati nell’atmosfera, si degradano dando origine a una sostanza PFAS estremamente persistente: l’acido trifluoroacetico (TFA). “Attraverso le precipitazioni arriva nell’ambiente e lì non si degrada più”

The Walrus & the Carpenter

I went for a short walk in my happy place today, which just happens to reside near our main provincial energy corridor.

One of 10 turbines from the #burchillWind project from #SaintJohnEnergy on the left, Coleson Cove #HFO burner by #NBPower on the right.

Burchill is #nb's newest windfarm, 50% owned by local Indigenous folks. It emitted 0 #ghg.

Coleson Cove is #newBrunswick's 3rd worst polluter. In 2021 it emitted 430,112.82 tonnes of #co2, equivalent to 86,000 cars driving 25,000 km.
