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.
