Accelerating Clean Cooling & Heating

01

Why this matters

Most refrigeration runs on chemicals that warm the planet, or quietly poison it.

HFCs warm the atmosphere up to 14,000× more than CO₂. Their HFO replacements break down into TFA, a forever chemical now detectable in rain, ice, and human blood.

The answer

CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons. Proven for over a century. They don't warm the planet, and they don't leave a forever chemical behind.

Natural refrigerants avoid both.

The company

Nihon Netsugen Systems: company profile.

Founded in 1987, Nihon Netsugen Systems has grown into one of Japan's leading companies in large-size heat pumps and industrial refrigeration. In 1999, the company established a partnership with GEA in Germany, and in 2012 began R&D of CO₂ condensing units, with a focus on achieving stable performance in hot summer climates while delivering year-round energy savings. This effort led to the 2015 launch of the "Super Green" — the company's first CO₂ condensing unit — in the Japanese market. Nihon Netsugen Systems remains committed to science-driven innovation, actively contributing to SDGs and carbon neutrality through the continued development of the Super Green series.
