AUSTRALIA solutions available in Natural Refrigerants , for which direct emissions would be minimal . The natural refrigerants are highly energy efficient and therefore would contribute to reduced indirect emissions . The use of natural refrigerants would eliminate direct GHG emissions and reduce indirect emissions by 20 to 50 %, a potential total reduction in national emissions of 7 %.
The Potential Role of Natural Refrigerants The natural refrigerants are ammonia , carbon dioxide , hydrocarbons , air and water . These refrigerants are commercially proven and highly energy efficient when used in the right engineering context . They have been shown to be effective in meeting the wide range of refrigerant requirements by HVAC & R sector .
As a result their use can make a major contribution to HVAC & R energy efficiency and emissions reduction . The transition to NRBT ( Natural Refrigerant Based Technologies ) would virtually eliminating direct emissions because natural refrigerants have very low GWP and reduce indirect emissions by up to 50 % through increased energy efficiency . The use of NRBT would pre-empt a major increase in GHG emissions in the developing world . It is fundamental to recognise that the transition to NRBT will deliver major cost savings to end users of the HVAC & R services . The potential cost savings in Australia are in the order of $ 8B per annum .
