Summary
The Montreal Protocol prohibits the use of CFCs in refrigerants or foaming agents beginning January 1, 1995. While many companies intend to use R134a as a substitute, a German company plans to market a household refrigerator running on a mixture of propane and isobutane and equipped with a hermetic compressor. The unit is said to be more energy efficient than similar ones running on R12.
