Kenji Matsuda from the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (JRAIA) assessed the industry's role in the development of natural refrigerant technology. Japanese AC units represent roughly 30% of the global market with the seasonal power consumption steadily decreasing over the years. According to Mr. Matsuda, it is therefore crucial to carefully evaluate the necessary safety measures that need to be considered for alternative refrigerants.
