The Coca-Cola Company is phasing out the use of HFCs in all new cold drink equipment by 2015 to mostly replace them with the use of hydrocarbons and R744. By the end of 2012, The Coca-Cola Company will have placed 800,000 units of HFC-free cooling systems globally, including hydrocarbon and CO₂-based systems. Antoine Azar, the Global Program Director of The Coca-Cola Company said in the session: “We are confident about our decision of adopting CO₂ in our cold drink equipment (…) We have no doubt about the performance of HFC-free technology.”
