Why CO₂?: Natural refrigerant
EU F-Gas regulation is a key priority for European countries. It ensures
compliance with the Kigali Amendment supporting international climate
commitments on greenhouse gases and leading the global transition to
climate-friendly HFC-free technologies.
Carbon dioxide (R744) is regaining its place in the refrigeration world. Driven by
environmental concerns, legislation now requires increased adoption of
‘alternative’ refrigerants, such as CO₂.
CO₂ is an climate-friendly solution, with zero 0DP and “GWP” (Global Warming
Potential)=1 means natural substance in the atmosphere.
In Europe a step-by-step HFC reduction has been in place since the F-Gas
regulation was introduced in 2015.
Countries all over the world have actively been preparing to enact the
necessary domestic legislation to implement the agreement to reduce the use
of HFCs.
The following table shows how well R744 (CO₂) performs regarding
environmental impact and safety.
