The UAE is actively working towards improving its environmental performance and alleviating the impacts of climate change. Refrigerants used in air conditioning, refrigeration, and other applications play an essential role in this effort.
Refrigerant gases are a key contributor to global warming by trapping heat from the atmosphere, but their usage can be managed through better refrigerant selection and improved handling practices.
The UAE government has enacted regulations encouraging businesses to switch to more environmentally friendly refrigerants like HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) for all new cooling systems over the last several years.
The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy adopted a mandate requiring all Dubai-based companies operating within free zones to switch from R-22 (chlorofluorocarbon) refrigerant by 2020 in order to reduce energy consumption.
These moves demonstrate the nation’s commitment toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and safeguarding convention ozone layer protection as part of an overall strategy towards energy efficiency and conservation efforts.
Other initiatives have included launching an awareness campaign targeting commercial building owners about the importance of HFCs (which have near zero ozone-damaging potential) as well as closely monitoring industry compliance with existing regulations concerning recycling, reclaiming and reporting on refrigerants used for commercial purposes under the federal Refrigerant Gas Management Program designed by the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi.
The UAE refrigerant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Currently in use at 26 locations throughout the United Arab Emirates, Trane’s CenTraVac centrifugal chillers with Honeywell Solstice zd technology have a large cooling capacity and together provide more than 350,000 tonnes of refrigeration.
The two factory openings showcase the adaptability and distinctiveness of iGas USA, a global company that manufactures metal cylinders and refrigerant gas simultaneously.
The supermarket industry’s most popular lower-global-warming-potential (LGWP) non flammable refrigerant substitute for legacy hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants like R-22 and other hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) alternatives is Solstice N40, which is based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) technology.
