GWP[1430]

“The refrigerant gas R134a, 99.9% pure and available in various formats, has a GWP of 1430. For decades, it was the global standard for automotive air conditioning (A/C) and for domestic and commercial refrigeration. Although it has been replaced by R1234yf in new vehicles, demand for maintaining the existing fleet remains very high. However, its GWP significantly exposes it to new F-Gas tax adjustments: the cost of recharging is set to rise, making the use of Drop-in substitutes (such as R456A or R513A) or the early purchase of stocks worth considering.”.
