GWP 1387 F-GAS (EU 2024/573) 2026 R448A Impact: + 4.16 €/kg

R448A refrigerant gas (Solstice® N40), an HFO-based mixture available in various cylinder sizes, has a GWP of 1387. It is currently the preferred retrofit solution in the commercial refrigeration sector (supermarkets, display cases) to replace R404A and R507A. It offers superior energy efficiency and reduces environmental impact by 65% compared to legacy gases. However, as it falls within the medium GWP range, it is not exempt from the new F-Gas tax adjustments: the price will undergo a tangible increase, making strategic stock management essential.
