PureComfort® power solutions satisfy your energy needs in an ultra-clean and efficient manner.
The emissions benefits are threefold: - Carbon dioxide emissions reduction,
- Pollutant (e.g. NOx, SO2) emissions reduction, and
- Reduction in the leakage emissions of organic refrigerants, which may be either ozone depleting and/or very effective greenhouse gases.
The CO2 emissions reduction (relative to the average coal- or oil-fired grid utility plant) stems from the high efficiency and use of natural gas in the PureComfort® system. As can be seen in the figure below, the effective PureComfort® solution emissions represent a reduction of more than 40 percent.
Since our forests and woodlands absorb CO2, an everyday equivalent of these environmental advantages would be a comparison of forest trees required to provide the same atmospheric CO2 reduction benefit. Compared to electricity generated by the average US fossil fueled plant (1969 lbm CO2 per MWh), each PureComfort® 360M power solution would avoid over 1000 metric tons of CO2 each year. This is equal to what would need be absorbed by over 150 acres of forest.
PureComfort® power solutions emit far less pollutant emissions compared to the average fossil fueled grid power. This is illustrated in the figure below, showing sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO2) emissions generated by US average central utility plants versus the PureComfort® 360M power solution.
In everyday terms, the NOx emissions benefits can be viewed in terms of equivalent number of average passenger cars removed from the road by each system. Relative to the average fossil fuel central utility plant, the PureComfort® 360M power solution avoids over 11,000 lbm of NOx emissions each year -- the equivalent of removing over 290 passenger cars from our roadways. (Based on EPA estimate of 38 lbm of NOx per year for an average passenger car).
