One of the reasons for this apprehension may be the in keeping up with the ever-evolving federal regulations, state building codes, and safety standards that support the emergence of low- GWP refrigerants..

Hydrocarbons have GWP close to zero, and they are also more efficient than HFCs, making them perfect future-proof solution, said Michel Moreira, director for North America at Nidec Global Appliance, responsible for Embraco in the region..

The HVACR industry is transitioning away from high- GWP, nonflammable refrigerants, such as R-404A and R-410A, to low- GWP alternatives R-290, and flammability refrigerants.
