A Falcon Heavy rocket launch uses RP-1 fuel, which emits 1,352 tonnes of CO2 and creates chains of hydrogen and carbon particulates known as ‘black-carbon’ that traps solar heat. Additionally, RP-1 produces nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, which are highly reactive and amplify the chemical breakdown of ozone in the ozone layer.
The Space Shuttle’s solid-rocket boosters used a chlorine-based fuel, which chemically obliterates ozone and the fine alumina particulates produced obstruct Earth’s outgoing heat.
SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) is the most potent of fluoride gases specifically 23,500 times the global warming potential of CO2. SF6 is used to prevent short circuits and fires in high voltage electrical switches and circuit breakers, which are part of the grid
