Impact of Trade Tariffs on HFCs
The refrigeration industry is undergoing a structural transformation due to global trade tariffs on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which have a high global warming potential (GWP).
Instead of direct bans, policymakers are implementing border taxes that alter pricing structures, making HFC-based systems less economical.
As a result, alternative refrigeration methods, such as air-cycle technology, are gaining traction as a tariff-proof and environmentally neutral solution.
air-cycle technology is emerging as a tariff-proof and environmentally neutral solution that eliminates reliance on regulated chemical refrigerants.
