Natural refrigerants

The transition to climate-friendly refrigeration technology is well underway. Natural refrigerants such as ammonia, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide play a key role here, offering numerous advantages over synthetic refrigerants – both ecologically and economically.
 

Maximum energy efficiency for lower operating costs

Natural refrigerants are characterised by their particularly high efficiency. This not only reduces energy consumption, but also indirect CO₂ emissions generated during power generation. For operators, this means significantly lower operating costs and increased environmental compatibility at the same time.

Climate-friendly and ozone-friendly

In contrast to synthetic refrigerants, natural alternatives have very low global warming potential (GWP). Even if released directly into the atmosphere, they do not damage the ozone layer – a crucial advantage for the overall ecological balance.

Synthetic refrigerants facing headwinds

Synthetic refrigerants, on the other hand, carry significant risks. When released into the environment, they actively contribute to climate change and break down into problematic by-products such as TFA (trifluoroacetic acid). These substances accumulate in nature – such as in drinking water – and are suspected of being harmful to health.

Increasing regulatory pressure

Against this backdrop, national and international regulations are sending out clear signals. The EU F-gas Regulation and the Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance are increasingly restricting the use of synthetic refrigerants and accelerating the switch to environmentally friendly alternatives.
 

For us, one thing is clear: natural refrigerants are the future.

They combine maximum efficiency with maximum climate responsibility – and offer the necessary planning security for long-term sustainable solutions. Together with our customers, we focus on sustainable technologies that make all the difference.
