The GWP potential of R410a is a measure of its global warming potential. R410a is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) commonly used as a refrigerant in air conditioning systems. Its GWP potential is significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide, making it a potent greenhouse gas. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), R410a has a GWP potential of 2,088 over a 20-year time horizon, which means its impact on global warming is 2,088 times greater than that of carbon dioxide over that time period.
