Objective
"The GWPathFinder project will develop and deploy an open-access online tool to provide accurate Global Warming Potential (GWP) values for fluorinated gases (F-gases) and project detailed emission pathways. This initiative directly supports the Kigali and Paris Agreements by providing evidence-based policy recommendations and industry best practices for F-gas emission reduction.
Key objectives include:
- Generating a suite of regionally and sectorally disaggregated F-gas emission pathways, including baseline, Kigali-compliant, and ""outperforming Kigali"" scenarios.
- Developing and validating a robust machine learning algorithm to predict GWP values for current and novel F-gases and their major degradation products, extending the scope of existing reports.
- Enhancing two leading integrated assessment models, PROMETHEUS and TIAM-ECN, to meticulously capture interactions between F-gas mitigation and energy system decarbonization, including the deployment of HFC alternatives in sectors like refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps (RACHP).
- Designing and publicly launching the user-friendly GWPathFinder online platform, which will integrate the GWP prediction tool and mitigation scenarios. This tool will function as an interactive decision-support system, enabling users to test different policy assumptions.
- Ensuring all research outputs, including data and models, are managed according to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and Open Science principles.
The project will advance from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3-4 to TRL 6-7. Deliverables include a validated GWP database, a robust machine learning algorithm, enhanced F-gas emission pathway models, and the publicly accessible GWPathFinder online tool, which will be a fully functional prototype ready for widespread pilot deployment by the end of the 36-month project."
