The halocarbon GWPs are all normalized to a value of unity for CFC-11. An equally valid alternate set of values can be obtained by normalization to CFC-12 dividing all the GWP values by 3.1 (the average value for the GWP for CFC-12). The benefit gained by substitution of a CFC with an HCFC (or an HFC) is computed by rationing the GWP values of the HCFC (or HFC) to the CFC. 5, record 2, English, - global%20warming%20potential

Le PRG, tout comme le PDO (potentiel de destruction de l'ozone) qui est son équivalent en ce qui a trait à l'ozone, est un indice qui permet de mesurer le degré de nuisance (la contribution à l'effet de serre en l'occurrence) d'un gaz donné. Le gaz de référence, celui à partir duquel la nocivité des autres gaz est mesurée, est le CFC-12. 3, record 2, French, - potentiel%20de%20r%C3%A9chauffement%20de%20la%20plan%C3%A8te
