The increasing demand for cooling systems raises concerns about the environmental impact of inefficient air-cons, contributing to climate change. Refrigerants, commonly used in air conditioning, emit heat-trapping gases and are harmful to the climate. Efforts are being made to switch to low-GWP refrigerants and improve energy efficiency in cooling systems, with policies and incentives aimed at targeting energy efficiency improvements in the commercial market.
Ask a question
How can the chemical industry overcome the challenges in producing and using alternative refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration?
How can the transition to low-GWP refrigerants be accelerated to mitigate the climate impact of inefficient air-cons?
What are the potential economic repercussions of implementing policies and incentives to target energy efficiency improvements in the commercial market?
