Transitioning to a Climate-Friendly Refrigeration System While Improving Efficiency

Transitioning from hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to low global warming potential (low GWP) natural refrigerants for use in commercial refrigeration equipment is one of the most impactful ways to address climate change globally. A supermarket in Northern Italy, where regulation limits HFC use, chose to install a carbon dioxide (CO2)-based system to drastically reduce its emissions. While CO2 is a leading natural refrigerant, CO2 systems can consume large amounts of energy, increasing operating costs.
