The energy efficiency of HFOs is demonstrated when comparing how much energy a cold room uses when working with an HFO system versus an ammonia system.
Solstice® N71 (R-471A) provides energy efficiency improvements of 30% compared to CO2 for medium temperature commercial refrigeration system.1
HFOs are a key enabler to the adoption of heat pumps. Their higher energy efficiency in commercial buildings and district heating schemes are essential to reducing fossil-fuel usage and electricity grid demand
Insulation materials produced using HFOs enable buildings to be more energy efficiency with optimum space usage.2
Only heating accounts for 50% of EU energy demand, and 70% still comes from burning fossil fuels which leads to CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
HFO solutions exist in Europe and are readily available which combined with heat pump technologies can bring Europe on the path to climate neutrality and energy independence.3
