Refrigerants: a key challenge for the heat pump sector
Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient and low-carbon heating equipment that play a key role in achieving carbon neutrality in the building sector. Their climate performance can however still be improved by using refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential than those that are currently used. The European Union aims to foster this movement with the recent revision of the “F-Gas” regulation. Following this new regulation, only refrigerants with very low direct greenhouse effects may…
