Recent life cycle assessment studies have revealed the relevance of cooling agent leakage when assessing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by fishing vessel operations. The goal of this communication is to update the carbon footprinting of the Galician fishing activity (NW Spain) by including the GHG emissions from cooling agent leakage. Results proved the relevant role played by refrigerants regarding their contribution to the carbon footprint of fishing activities. Thus, an overall increase of 13% was found when comparing the final global carbon footprint for the Galician fishing activity with previous calculations that did not include these emissions. Nevertheless, further efforts should be made in order to provide robust data in this respect.
最近的生命周期评估研究表明，在评估渔船作业产生的温室气体（GHG）排放时，冷却剂泄漏的相关性。本通讯的目的是通过纳入冷却剂泄漏产生的温室气体排放来更新加利西亚渔业活动（西班牙西北部）的碳足迹。结果证明了制冷剂在其对渔业活动碳足迹的贡献方面所起的相关作用。因此，与以前不包括这些排放物的计算相比，当比较加利西亚渔业活动的最终全球碳足迹时，发现总体增加了 13%。然而，在这方面应该进一步努力提供可靠的数据。
