Green Refrigerants Market
Montreal protocol that was implemented by United Nations in 1987 with the aim to cut the consumption and production of synthetic refrigerants like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) that caused depletion of the ozone layer, this leads to increasing demand for natural refrigerants in refrigeration industry. Moreover, in 1997 Kyoto protocol was globally established by United Nations to minimize the emissions of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and other greenhouse gases. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the nations involved in the Montreal Protocol eradicated 98% of ozone depleting substances (ODS) by 2018 as compared to their levels in 1990.
Commercial refrigeration segment witnessed growth in Asia Pacific region in recent past years, owing to urbanization and technological advancements in refrigerant equipment industry. Hypermarket and supermarkets are now upgrading to CO2 based transcritical system technology to limit their CO2 emissions.
Leading companies are also switching to green refrigerants due to increased concerns regarding global warming. For instance, Chemours Company, a global leader in chemical manufacturing and distribution, inaugurated the world’s largest green refrigerant manufacturing factory in March 2019 in Texas, U.S. This factory will manufacture Opteon, a line of low-GWP refrigerant series, that is used in stationary air-conditioning and heat pumps.
Companies involved in refrigeration industry still faces difficulty in developing and choosing the right Low-GWP replacements for synthetic refrigerants, as it possess flammable and toxic properties, and thus, additional safety standards are needed.
