What are the gasses included in the Kyoto Protocol?
Gases with ability to absorb solar radiation (GHG) included in the Kyoto Protocol are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), plus three fluorinated industrial gasses: hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), per fluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). The Kyoto Protocol provides a reduction in emissions as a percentage of approximately 5% within 2008 to 2012, compared with the emissions in 1990.
