Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2008 Bill establishing the NZ ETS were separated into the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment bill. On 10 September 2008, the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2008 had its third reading in Parliament and was adopted 63 votes to 57 with support from the Green Party and New Zealand First. The Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2008 received the royal assent on 25 September 2008. The proposed scheme was to cover all six greenhouse gases specified in the Kyoto Protocol, carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH), nitrous oxide (NO), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF). It
Sulfur hexafluoride also the method used by the discoverers Henri Moissan and Paul Lebeau in 1901. Some other sulfur fluorides are cogenerated, but these are removed by heating the mixture to disproportionate any (which is highly toxic) and then scrubbing the product with NaOH to destroy remaining . Alternatively, utilizing bromine, sulfur hexafluoride can be synthesized from SF and CoF at lower temperatures (e.g. 100 °C), as follows: There is virtually no reaction chemistry for . A main contribution to the inertness of SF is the steric hindrance of the sulfur atom, whereas its heavier group 16 counterparts, such as SeF are
