What caught my attention was not really the refrigerant. ➡️ It was the direction of information. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Until now, much of the technical flow has been: 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 → 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿 → 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 →…

Reclaiming is no longer only a circular-economy issue. As recovery, separation and regeneration technologies improve, the refrigerant already circulating within the installed base becomes increasingly valuable. This changes more than the treatment process. It can strengthen the position of distributors and reclaimers, reinforce their relationship…

I have followed 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘃𝘀𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗲 several times in recent months because the signals around the technology were accumulating. 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲–𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘃𝘀𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗲 tandem cells are now explicitly included among the technologies China intends to develop and commercialise. This…

It is also appearing in the automotive market. 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲’𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥-𝟭𝟯𝟰𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥-𝟭𝟮𝟯𝟰𝘆𝗳, recently presented at Automechanika, goes in this direction. ➡️ The concept itself is not new. A similar retrofit approach had already been announced in 2024. ➡️…
