Freezing out fluorinated greenhouse gases
With the goal of reducing hydrofluorocarbon emissions by 74 000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year, Refrigerants LIFE Cycle developed an installation capable of separating refrigerant waste mixtures. Instead of being burned, the used refrigerants are converted into full-value refrigerants that, thanks to an innovative collection and storage system, can be reused for cooling purposes. Backed by a comprehensive awareness raising campaign, the project looks to have more than 450 companies transferring their refrigeration waste for processing.
