Air conditioners do not directly emit carbon dioxide (CO2) during operation, as they primarily use electricity to cool air. However, if the electricity used to power the air conditioner comes from fossil fuel sources, then CO2 is indirectly released into the atmosphere during electricity generation. Additionally, some air conditioning systems may use refrigerants that can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions if they leak. Overall, while air conditioners do not produce CO2 themselves, their environmental impact can be linked to the source of their energy and the refrigerants used.
