New legislation and growing consumer demands are pushing the industry to reduce further the carbon footprint of refrigeration systems. The market is now seeing the emergence of new, lower-GWP refrigerants (including hydrofluoro-olefins - or HFOs - and natural refrigerants) and a greater focus on leak detection coupled with the effective recovery and destruction of used refrigerants.
At Linde, we are committed to the responsible use of natural resources, the development of clean technologies and the replacement of harmful substances with eco-friendly alternatives. We support the establishment of global legislation to phase down the most damaging refrigerants, as well as the development and commercialisation of new generations of more environmentally friendly refrigerants.
