Natural refrigerant-based heat pumps are on the rise in Europe, according to a new report released on April 20 by ATMOsphere, publisher of Hydrocarbons21.com. The report “Delivering Today on EU F-gas, REPowerEU and PFAS Restriction with Natural Refrigerant Heat Pumps,” was published ahead of the kick off of the European trilogue among the European Commission,…
Representatives from the scientific community support the wide adoption of hydrocarbons across the spectrum of heat pumps, starting with air-to-water.
The NGO defends NatRefs against claims made by Chemours in Politico advertorial.
The Cool Technologies website aims to provide references to energy efficient equipment that does not rely on f-gases.
The European Commission’s energy department premiered the report at ATMO Europe.
Manufacturers would have time to scale up the production of natural refrigerant equipment, says the European Commission.
The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis modeled emissions of different refrigerants in split ACs.
U.S. companies should proactively push to remove barriers for R290 in air conditioning and heat pumps says EIA’s Avipsa Mahapatra.
Thus, there is no need to alter plans for an aggressive phase down of HFCs, the study says.
Under the AIM Act, the EPA is allowed to shape a HFC phase down, manage the technology transition and support the proper management of refrigerants across the sectors using these chemicals.
