R-32 will phase out by 2030, they are replacing it with R290.
Thanks. That’s useful information for the uncertain years ahead. For now the article says
“Our math shows R-32, plus good refrigerant management, those two things combined solve almost all of the refrigerant problem,” said Romanin. “Because of that data, Gradient believes the industry should stay on R-32 until we’re ready for natural refrigerants.”
Just to make this clear R290 is also known as propane.
wait, so compagnies selling heat pumps will be able to say they sell propane and propane accesories?
Thanks. They definitely discussed propane in the article

Same here. At work we are using CO2 for fridges and the line as a stop gap where its possible, but for smaller units we are looking at a lot of substitution…
