Natural Refrigerants in Commercial Refrigeration
Natural refrigerants such as CO₂ and R290 are becoming the standard for supermarket refrigeration in Australia. With ongoing reductions in HFC availability, stores are moving toward solutions that are efficient, compliant and future-ready.
These refrigerants offer low environmental impact while maintaining strong performance in real store conditions. For supermarkets, this means reduced energy use, improved reliability and alignment with sustainability targets.
We have been at the forefront of natural refrigerant adoption in Australia, helping build the case for alternatives to HFCs and supporting their rollout across the industry.
Since 2013, we have designed and delivered transcritical CO₂ refrigeration for supermarkets across Australia, completing well over 100 installations.
We supply leading global refrigeration equipment into Australia, combining proven technology with local expertise to ensure it performs in Australian conditions.
Projects, including the Balnarring supermarket installation, show how natural refrigerant refrigeration performs in-store, delivering efficient operation, consistent temperatures and long-term reliability. You can explore the full project in our case study.
As the industry continues to move away from high-GWP refrigerants, natural refrigerants are no longer a future option, they are the direction the market is already taking.
