I think this is a bigger deal than many people realise. The projected growth rates for air-conditioners and heat-pumps are huge and up to now they were likely to be filled with synthetic refrigerants creating an ever-increasing problem down the road. After years of effort, by some conscientious people, these revised safety standards will allow for the greater use of natural HC refrigerants going forward. This on its own can potentially save gigatons. Still plenty to do in terms of manufacturer adoption and skills development but a great step forward. #refrigerants #hfcFree #goNatRefs
