Refrigerator fluid footprint

The fluid considered is R410a and its emission factor from the Base Carbone.

Note found in the study Modelling and environmental assessment of consumer products and capital goods:

> The refrigerant is the main contributor to the life cycle of air conditioners. Depending on the fluid used, the impacts can be very different, in fact, today we see new technologies using pentane, a gas with low global warming power compared to R134a.

We can consider a weighted average according to the proportions of each refrigerant used.
