To safeguard the environment and uphold international agreements, the Australian government regulates the use of refrigerants in Australia. The laws in Australia are in line with international initiatives to phase out ozone-depleting compounds and lessen refrigerants’ contribution to climate change.
For the usage and handling of refrigerants, Australia has adopted a number of laws and standards. The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) is in charge of enforcing these standards under the direction of the Department of the Environment and Energy.
To preserve the ozone layer, Australia has made the phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) a top priority. R-22 and other commonly used HCFC refrigerants are being phased out in favor of more environmentally friendly substitutes.
In Australia, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are frequently employed as CFC and HCFC replacements. The HFC refrigerants R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A are often utilized. However, due to their great potential for causing global warming, Australia is also taking action to scale down the usage of HFCs.
Due to their reduced impact on the environment, Australia is pushing the use of natural refrigerants more and more. Ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons like propane and isobutane are examples of natural refrigerants that are becoming more and more prevalent.
In comparison to synthetic refrigerants, these refrigerants have a decreased or zero ozone depletion potential and a much lower GWP.
It is crucial for people and businesses to consult the rules established by the Australian government as well as any relevant industry standards or recommendations to ensure compliance with refrigerant restrictions in Australia.
The Australia 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.
The acclaimed Rapid Recovery solution from A-Gas has been launched in Australia to assist in limiting harm to the ozone layer and additional effects on global warming by preventing the discharge of refrigerants into the atmosphere.
Numerous industries, including HVAC, refrigeration, demolition, marine, and more, rely on A-Gas Rapid Recovery’s refrigerant recovery services. The business specializes in Arctick compliance and makes sure that every project’s components are properly monitored and recorded.
