About clean cooling
#GoNatRefs
Clean Cooling by definition includes the complete transition from fluorinated refrigerants to natural refrigerants, including CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, water and air.
Clean Cooling is, ultimately, about future-proofing society and ensuring a more sustainable relationship between humans and the planet we live and, we hope, thrive on. Rising ambient temperatures will demand more cooling for health, food, productivity, data and, increasingly, safe living. Thus, the provision of comprehensive Clean Cooling is a prerequisite for a sustainable and resilient future.

Frequently asked questions
What are natural refrigerants?
Substances that occur in nature and are used as refrigerants: CO₂ (R744), ammonia (R717), hydrocarbons such as propane (R290), isobutane (R600a) and propylene (R1270), water (R718) and air (R729). They have no or negligible global-warming potential and are the long-term alternative to fluorinated refrigerants (HFCs and HFOs).
What is clean cooling?
The complete transition of cooling and heating from fluorinated refrigerants to natural refrigerants, combined with energy-efficient equipment. ATMOsphere, the publisher of this site, uses the term for that transition as a whole; its own explainer goes into the detail.
