Summary

This document recounts a debate on the future of various refrigerants, with emphasis on the thermodynamic properties and above all the safety, inflammability, toxicity and impact on the environment of these refrigerants. Present regulations were criticized for their lack of accuracy from a technical point of view and for their commercial and lobbying impacts. The aim of the discussion was to discern whether hydrocarbons or HFCs would dominate from 2015 onwards. Opinions differed.
