Natural Refrigerants (The Goal)

---

 Under the Montreal Protocol and the Kigali Amendment, the industry is phasing out environmentally harmful refrigerants like HCFCs (e.g., R-22), which deplete the ozone layer, and high-GWP HFCs (e.g., R-404A and R-410A), which contribute significantly to global warming. Our maintenance work involves replacing these with eco-friendly alternatives, such as R-32 or natural refrigerants like CO₂ (R-744) and propane (R-290), which have minimal impact on the atmosphere. This global transition aims to reduce HFC consumption by over 80% by the late 2040s. This move could prevent up to 0.5°C of global warming and ensure a more sustainable future for cooling technology.
