H.Stars Group developed a series of new refrigerant equipment with low GWP for carbon reduction and energy saving in 2021

 According to the news on December 23, Chemours announced that from January 1, 2020, they will stop supplying high-GWP R404A and R507A refrigerants to the European Union.

​

At the time of this announcement, Europe is preparing to implement a ban on high-GWP refrigerants in accordance with the European F-gas regulations (517/2014) implemented on January 1.

According to the European F-gas phase-out schedule, HFC refrigerants with a GWP value higher than 2500 will be prohibited from being used for maintenance or recharging of refrigeration or refrigeration systems with a charge of 40 tons or more of carbon dioxide equivalent. This is equivalent to about 10.2kg of R404A, which is a commonly used refrigerant in medium-sized systems. Small sealing systems are not affected by the ban, but most manufacturers of such systems have switched to lower GWP refrigerants.

In addition to the commonly used R404A, the ban will also include R507A and R22 instead of gas R422D, both of which have a GWP value of more than 2500.

This ban applies to all of Europe. Companies that have stored these refrigerants before that date will still be able to use the recovered or recycled refrigerants before 2030.

As one of Chemours' main competitors, Honeywell ended R404A sales in 2018.
