Natural refrigerants like ammonia/NH3 (R717) are a “really important part of decarbonization,” according to Ben Churchill, Chief Strategy Officer of CoolPlanet, an organization that supports businesses on their path to net zero.
Not only do they boost the efficiency of HVAC&R systems, reducing end users’ energy-related emissions, but they also “remove the issues related to f-gases,” he added. “We choose natural refrigerants because they’re just more energy efficient. They’re the right thing to do.”
