Summary

A market evaluation prepared by the Environmental Investigation Agency with the assistance of IFC Consulting. Given the great risk that HFCs gases pose to the global climate, low-GWP alternative refrigeration technologies are rapidly being developed, proven, and commercialized. Already, there are numerous proven HFC-free technologies available for use in the United States. Specifically, self-contained units, rack systems, and central plant systems that rely on hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, ammonia, or combinations of these refrigerants are being manufactured and sold on the US market.
