Discover sustainable refrigerant solutions and regulations driving the HFC phase-down. Specific market guidance and measures for reducing HFC consumption, including GWP limits, are spurring new technologies. The Montreal Protocol's Kigali Amendment aims to promote sustainable cooling solutions worldwide. Developed countries are phasing out HCFCs, with developing countries following until 2030. Governments are also implementing measures like GWP-weighted taxes and subsidies on low-GWP refrigerants to reduce high-GWP refrigerant consumption.
Learn about the global phase-out of HCFCs and CFCs, and the replacement with HFCs, which unfortunately also contribute to global warming. R22, a popular HCFC, is being phased out due to its minor ODS potential. Developed countries have already completed the phase-out, with others following until 2030. Danfoss recommends investing in new plant builds or retrofitting existing plants with hermetic compressors and controls to run on R22 substitutes. Find out more about retrofit guidelines and the legislation surrounding R22 substitutes in Danfoss's white paper.
Danfoss prioritizes sustainable solutions combining high energy efficiency and low-GWP refrigerants, both natural and synthetic. With refrigeration and air conditioning using 15% of global electricity, energy efficiency is a critical aspect. Danfoss invests in low-GWP refrigerants, developing products that are practical, safe and energy efficient, such as compressors, heat exchangers, and control components. Danfoss strikes a balance between affordability, safety, and the environment to pioneer new developments and technology.
