SF(sub 6) as a greenhouse gas: an assessment of Norwegian and global sources and the global warming potential

摘要

Norwegian and global sources of SF(sub 6) have been assessed, and the global warming potential (GWP) values have been calculated. It is found that on a global scale SF(sub 6) plays a minor role in the currently increasing greenhouse effect. However, in some countries, as e.g. Norway, SF(sub 6) plays a more important role due to a highly developed magnesium industry. 38 refs., 2 figs., 9 tabs.
