Chemours has announced that it will be ending the supply of high-GWP refrigerants R404A and R507A in the EU from January 1 2020.
It says the move is to support the transition driven by the European Union F-Gas regulation to lower-GWP alternatives and also to prepare for the next quota phasedown in 2021.
From January 1 2020, there will be a ban on the use of stationary refrigeration equipment that contains HFCs with a GWP of 2500 or more (except equipment intended for applications designed to cool products to temperatures below -50°C).
The regulation also reduces the amount of HFCs placed on the market over a 15-year period with the next quota phasedown taking effect on January 1, 2021. Chemours adds that this can be achieved by transitioning away from high GWP refrigerants such as R404A and R507A to lower-GWP alternatives such as those in its Opteon portfolio, including XP40 (R449A), a solution for retrofit of existing equipment, XL40 (R454A) and XL20 (R454C), designed as sustainable solutions for new equipment.
