PAVING THE WAY TO DECARBONIZATION

LOW GWP F-GASES ARE VITAL TO KEEPING GLOBAL CLIMATE TARGETS IN REACH.

F-gases Are Key to the Green Transition

Low GWP F-gases like HFOs are key to replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric. Our future depends on choosing innovative solutions that are developed for sustainability, not retreating to past technologies. F-gases are superior to so-called “natural” refrigerants in many ways. CO₂ systems are notoriously inefficient and complex, ammonia systems are expensive due to toxicity mitigations, and hydrocarbon systems have scalability issues due to flammability and charge size limitations. All require more resources and energy than F-gases—resulting in a higher level of indirect emissions and putting global decarbonization goals at risk.

IMPACT STATS

two highway roads over a creek — By 2025, the global use of Opteon™ refrigerants is expected to have eliminated an estimated **325 million tons** of CO₂ equivalent.¹

device in cooling fluid Decarbonization — In data centers, two-phase immersion cooling systems using F-gas refrigerants like HFOs can reduce cooling energy use by **more than 90%**.²

external cooling units on a building Decarbonization — In 2022 alone, heat pumps helped Europe **avoid 54 megatonnes of CO₂ pollution**—the rough equivalent of Greece’s annual emissions.³
