Ultra-low GWP refrigerant options for eco-friendly cooling systems

As environmental regulations tighten, the refrigeration industry must adopt sustainable solutions without sacrificing performance or safety. Honeywell's Solstice® ze (HFO-1234ze) refrigerant offers an ultra-low GWP (<1) alternative to HFCs, maintaining performance while reducing CO2 emissions by 99.6% compared to R-134a. It is non-flammable at room temperature, supporting chillers, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems. · Compatible with common materials and POE lubricants· A2L classified (mildly flammable), requiring more energy to ignite than hydrocarbons· Atmospheric lifetime of 18 days vs. 13 years for R-134a· Improves energy efficiency across applications
