−	"The UK Government has set a target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 as part of their attempt to address the climate change emergency and the associated impact. The built environment is responsible for around 40% of total carbon emissions, and an environmental audit committee report highlighted that 3% of UK greenhouse gas emissions are of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It is clear that radical change is needed in the sector in order to meet this target...	+
−		+
−	High carbon fossil fuels are increasingly being replaced with low carbon alternatives for heating and the decarbonisation of the electricity grid is driving a shift towards electric heating technologies with heat pumps forecast to make up a significant part. The Committee on Climate Change has said that to meet the commitment to reach net zero by 2050, 19 million heat pumps will need to be installed and that hybrid heat pumps should be widely used by 2035. Heat pumps are not a new technology – they have been used in a variety of different applications for many years..	+

−	This guide aims to provide an overview of the different applications with regard to what refrigerant options are available and what the implications may be for using certain refrigerants in certain applications. It gives the reader a good understanding of why the selection of refrigerant type is important in consideration of the expected lifecycle of the system. It provides a high level overview of legislation in the global context of the developing Montreal Protocol and reference to refrigerants now banned from working with but still in use in many systems."	+
