Low-GWP Refrigerants: Finding a Regulatory Path Forward

For the past several years, commercial refrigeration stakeholders in the United States have been closely monitoring regulatory efforts to phase down the use of high-global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.


At Copeland, we’re developing a wide range of refrigeration technologies that will help companies to comply with emerging regulations, meet their sustainability objectives, and choose a path forward that aligns with their long-term operational preferences. Providing insights on alternative Low-GWP refrigerants is one of the ways Copeland is helping companies meet their goals.

The Journey to Lower-GWP Refrigerants | E360 Webinar Series

Environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives are driving the commercial refrigeration industry toward low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant alternatives. Copeland's new webinar series addresses key challenges, considerations and landmarks on the road ahead. From regulations and safety standards to refrigerant-specific applications and operational caveats, you’ll find the answers needed to successfully navigate your journey.

Evaluating Lower-GWP Refrigerants

The food retail, foodservice and industrial cooling industries are in the midst of a momentous transition in their refrigeration system architectures. In an era driven by historic regulatory activity and the necessity to deploy sustainable systems, the number of refrigeration options available to these operators seems to be growing exponentially.

To get to what many call the “end game” of achieving compliance and meeting corporate sustainability objectives, more businesses are looking at systems based on environmentally friendly refrigerants to help them achieve these goals. Click below to view Copeland's 'Alternative Refrigerant Options for a New Decade' publication, to learn how lower-GWP systems are forging a path to the future of refrigeration.

Pathway to Lower-GWP Refrigeration

It’s apparent that the global movement toward environmentally friendly refrigeration systems is more than a temporary trend. For more than a decade, component manufacturers, OEMs, contractors and end users have been developing and introducing technologies based on refrigerants that offer lower global warming potential (GWP).

Regardless of what’s driving your future refrigeration strategy, Copeland is developing technologies to address a full spectrum of refrigeration considerations — from small to large retail formats, low GWP to very low-GWP refrigerants, and distributed to centralized architectures.
