The Brazilian Environmental Authority, the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA), and other pertinent governmental organizations control the use of refrigerants in Brazil.
Brazilian laws support global initiatives to safeguard the environment and lessen refrigerant effects on ozone depletion and climate change. Due to their detrimental effects on the ozone layer, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have being phased out in Brazil, following global trends.
More eco-friendly substitutes have mainly taken the place of these refrigerants, namely R-12 and R-22. In Brazil, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are frequently employed as CFC and HCFC replacements. The HFC refrigerants R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A are often utilized.
The significant global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs, however, is becoming more widely known, which has prompted international attempts to gradually reduce their use. Brazil, like many other nations, is encouraging the use of natural refrigerants because of their reduced impact on the environment.
In Brazil, interest in using natural refrigerants is rising. These include ammonia (R-717), carbon dioxide (R-744), and hydrocarbons like propane (R-290) and isobutane (R-600a). In comparison to synthetic refrigerants, these refrigerants have a decreased or zero ozone depletion potential and a much lower GWP.
The Brazil refrigerant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Innovating, new, low-global-warming-potential refrigerant for commercial and industrial refrigeration that is tailored for supermarkets was launched by Honeywell. The product satisfies the demands of retailers and grocery stores looking for low-global-warming solutions in advance of foreseeable legislative changes.
Solstice N71 (R-471A), the newest addition to Honeywell’s exclusive low-GWP series of Solstice solutions for diverse applications, is the first non-flammable and energy-efficient solution with a GWP of less than 150 for the grocery business.
The grocery industry’s most extensively used R-404A replacement refrigerant, Solstice N40, is now joined by Solstice N71 in Honeywell’s Solstice product line. Since its debut in 2015, Solstice N40 has been embraced by more than 60,000 stores worldwide.
With Solstice N71, Honeywell has created the next-generation solution that complies with more demanding environmental laws and hastens the industry’s transition to carbon neutrality.
The latest addition to Honeywell’s Solstice product line builds on the company’s track record of significantly lowering the greenhouse gas intensity of its operations and facilities as well as its decades-long history of innovation to support its clients’ environmental and social objectives.
