Deputy Manager Market Development at shecco, Klara Skacanova, gave an overview of the different regulatory and market drivers for natural refrigerants across Europe, Japan and China. Skacanova outlined how Europe’s aggressive regulatory stance covering various applications has helped delist high-GWP refrigerants, a move that is anticipated to drive down the average GWP of refrigerants from 2000 in 2015 to 400 by 2030. Meanwhile, in Japan and China f-gas restrictions, incentives for natural refrigerants through government support and consumer awareness are helping shape a cleaner HVAC&R market.
