- Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT) has developed India's first indigenous process technology to manufacture Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), a next-generation green refrigerant.
- Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are designed to replace Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and automobile cooling systems.
- The technology produces HFO-1234yf, which has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), low Global Warming Potential (GWP), and a very short atmospheric lifetime.
- The indigenous process is ready for technology transfer to industry, reducing dependence on imported refrigerant technology.
- India will phase down Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in four stages from 2032 to 2047 under the Kigali Amendment.
