Skleníkové plyny v ledničkách mohou být nahrazeny plastickými krystaly

Tradiční freony z ledniček skončily v propadlišti dějin, protože ničí ozonovou vrstvu.

Zajímavým řešením by se mohly stát plastické krystaly, které při stlačování absorbují značné množství tepla. Technologie ale ještě musí dozrát. http://www.osel.cz/13861-sklenikove-plyny-v-lednickach-mohou-byt-nahrazeny-plastickymi-krystaly.html
