Summary

CO2 belongs to the so-called "natural" refrigerants, together with, for example, ammonia, hydrocarbons such as propane and butane, and water. All of these refrigerants have their respective disadvantages: ammonia is toxic, hydrocarbons are flammable, and water has limited application possibilities. In comparison, CO2 is non-toxic and non-flammable, but has a double role in the environment. CO2 is necessary for all life on earth, but is also a green house gas, which can change the environment if its concentration in the atmosphere changes.
