How much CO2 is produced in compressor driven air con?

The amount of CO2 produced by compressor-driven air conditioning systems depends on several factors, including the energy source used to power the system and its efficiency. For example, if the electricity used to operate the air conditioner is generated from fossil fuels, the CO2 emissions can be significant. On average, air conditioning can account for about 5-10% of a household's total energy consumption, leading to several hundred kilograms of CO2 emissions annually, depending on usage patterns and local energy sources. Additionally, refrigerant leaks can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, depending on the type of refrigerant used.
