F-gases are man-made chemicals used as the cooling agent in fridges and air conditioners.
F-gases are powerful greenhouse polluters and damage the ozone layer but we don't need to use them because natural refrigerants work just as well and don't hurt the climate.
You can't escape f-gases
You can find f-gases everywhere -- in homes, offices, shops and even in the cooling mechanisms of cars.
They make drinks cold, keep ice-cream chilled and your room nice and cool.
How can you stop using f-gases?
It's easy.
Make sure that cooling equipment in your home, car and office uses natural refrigerants.
Cooling equipment tagged with R600a, R290 and R744 are all using natural refrigerants.
They are not only good for the climate and the ozone layer, but also energy-efficient and cost-effective
R600a fridges are widely used in China (about 75% use R600a as refrigerants) while the R290 powered room air-conditioners are coming to the Chinese market soon.
