ShareIIR Webinar – Domestic hydrocarbon heat pumps, key to a decarbonised future
As the world accelerates towards decarbonisation, heat pumps are emerging as a global solution for cleaner, more efficient residential cooling and heating.
With governments phasing out fossil fuel-based systems and tightening regulations on synthetic refrigerants, the industry is turning to natural alternatives, with hydrocarbons (HCs) leading the way.
But how widespread is the adoption of hydrocarbon-based heat pumps?
What are the opportunities, challenges, and future trends for this technology?
Join IIR’s webinar, where industry experts will present insights from the recently published IIR Technical Brief on Domestic Heat Pumps Using Hydrocarbons.
This session will cover the current status of the European market, compare HC refrigerants with other alternatives, explore safety considerations, and discuss the regulatory and technological trends shaping the industry.
