Background
Amid the global phase-down of HFCs, the refrigerant industry is undergoing an unprecedented green revolution and transformation.
From the deepening implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to policy support worldwide for low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants; from iterative breakthroughs in alternative technologies to traditional refrigerants to the urgent demand for efficient refrigerants in sectors like new energy, cold chain logistics, and data centers—the industry is at a critical juncture. Currently, second-generation refrigerants are being rapidly phased out, third-generation refrigerants face quota restrictions, and fourth-generation solutions are still under development… At the same time, quota constraints have led to challenges such as counterfeit products flooding some regional markets and difficulties in overcoming international patent barriers, severely hindering the industry’s healthy development.
On October 24, the "5th China International Refrigerant Development Summit," hosted by the Zhejiang Fluorine Chemical Industry Association, will be held at the Hangzhou International Expo Center. Under the theme "Green Empowerment · Smart Innovation for the Future," the forum will feature leading international companies such as Honeywell, Chemours, and Daikin Chemicals sharing updates on fourth-generation refrigerant R&D, with a focus on addressing key issues in ultra-low GWP refrigerant development.
The event will also bring together government representatives, renowned experts, producers, manufacturers, and end-users to explore critical questions: How will industry policies and quota dynamics reshape the market? What insights can AI, big data centers, and new energy vehicles offer for refrigerant research and application? What challenges and barriers will Chinese refrigerant manufacturers face in expanding globally?
Face the challenges, seize the opportunities, and collaborate for the future! The 5th China International Refrigerant Development Summit looks forward to working with you to advance refrigerant technology and elevate environmental standards!
