Greenhouse gases play a significant role in global warming potential, with different gases having varying impacts on the environment. While carbon dioxide (CO2) is often the most talked about greenhouse gas, others such as methane and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) also contribute to the warming of the planet. PFCs, in particular, have extremely high global warming potential
