DRIVING INNOVATION, VALUE & RELIABILITY

LOW GWP F-GASES ARE ESSENTIAL TO KEEPING SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION IN REACH.

F-gases Advance Socioeconomic Value

From transportation and HVACR to construction and technology, countless industries depend on F-gases to operate safely, efficiently, and at peak performance. Without them, critical advancements, such as next-generation computing speeds and more efficient electric vehicles, may not be possible. A potential ban on F-gases would create significant financial and societal impacts, including a heightened risk of supply chain disruptions and higher consumer costs.

IMPACT STATS

transparent car with visible internals — Compared to CO₂, using F-gases like HFOs in electric vehicle heat pumps could save up to 71TWh per year and **more than $20 billion**. This is equivalent to the entire road life cycle of over 400,000 typical family cars.¹
