Masood Ali discusses the latest updates relating to regulatory standards affecting natural refrigerants with a special focus on Europe, the US and Australia. These new policy trends will promote the use of alternative refrigerants such as CO₂ and NH₃, as well as help to develop more energy efficient and innovative, eco-friendly technologies. Ali’s presentation also focuses on barriers to commercialisation such as limited components suppliers, lack of harmonisation of regulatory standards, and technical challenges.
