On July 11, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), aiming for a 40% reduction from historic levels between 2024 and 2028. This action supports the goals of the...
Read more✕ Last month’s article on CO2 introduced readers to the properties of this low-GWP refrigerant, which has been around for a very long time and can keep food cold without harming the environment. There was also a discussion about some of the...
Read more✕ Imagine a future where refrigeration systems not only cool your groceries but power entire industries —from nutraceuticals to biodiesel plants — while drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 refrigeration, which has gained...
Read more✕ While the need to refrigerate, freeze, and deep freeze will always be with us, it’s only been in recent years that scientists have determined a way to do that safely — and without harming the environment. Beginning January 1, 2025, the...
