Convert R405A to CO₂e
1 kg=4821kg CO₂e (DESNZ 2026)
CO₂ equivalent
1 kg × 4821 = 4821 kg CO₂e (Total emissions including non-Kyoto products)
Factors for R405A
| Reporting basis | kg CO₂e per kg | Row in source file |
|---|---|---|
| Total emissions including non-Kyoto products | 4821 | 655 |
| Emissions including only non-Kyoto products | 901 | 654 |
| Emissions including only Kyoto products | 3920 | 653 |
The factor is applied to the mass of refrigerant released to the atmosphere, for example the amount added during servicing to replace a leak. GWP basis: AR5; AR6 where no AR5 value exists (DESNZ 2026 methodology, Table 1 note 5).
DESNZ gives separate columns for gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol and for all gases including non-Kyoto ones (for example ozone-depleting substances controlled under the Montreal Protocol). Use the column that matches the scope of your reporting and state it.
