Due to their excellent thermal conductivity and chemical stability, they became the ideal refrigerant choice at the time. However, CFCs contain chlorine, which, when released into the atmosphere, depletes the ozone layer, leading to global ozone layer depletion. Common first-generation refrigerants include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>R-11<\/strong>(Trichlorofluoromethane): Used for cooling and as a blowing agent, but has been widely phased out due to its ozone-depleting effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>R-12<\/strong>(Dichlorodifluoromethane): Once one of the most commonly used refrigerants in automotive air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, also phased out due to its ozone-depleting properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u7b2c\u4e8c\u4ee3\u51b7\u5a92\uff08hcf-cs\uff0c\u6c2b\u6c2f\u6c1f\u78b3\u5316\u5408\u7269\uff09\"><strong>Second-Generation Refrigerants (HCFCs, Hydrochlorofluorocarbons)<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce ozone depletion, HCFCs were developed as replacements for CFCs.

The Kyoto Protocol emphasized the leadership responsibility of industrialized countries in emission reductions and established an emissions trading system that allows countries to buy and sell emission quotas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol specifically targets the use of HFCs. This amendment requires signatory countries to gradually phase out HFCs starting in 2020 and transition to low-GWP alternatives.
