CC - Chemours Supplies Lower Global Warming Potential Refrigerant to Three Ice Rink Venues in Beijing
--News Direct--
This February, while the eyes of the world will be on the best-of-the-best performances of athletes on the ice in Beijing, the minds of Chemours and the HVACR industry will be on what lies beneath the surface — ice made possible by Chemours’ Opteon™ XP40. In keeping with their mission to be “green, open, inclusive, and clean,” and adopt more sustainable solutions, organizers for the 2022 Winter Games selected Opteon™ XP40 as the refrigerant for the Beijing National Aquatics Center, Beijing National Indoor Stadium, and the Wukesong Sports Centre . Beyond supplying the refrigerant for these venues and offering an approximate 65% reduction in global warming potential compared to previous ice games, Chemours is proud of the ways our participation upholds the Games’ time-honored tradition of celebrating the very best athleticism and a universal spirit of competition that transcends boundaries of country, continent, and cultures. Opteon™ XP40 will deliver stable, reliable ice performance under the Games’ demanding conditions, in a way that elevates sustainability and safety, allowing athletes to put their full focus on playing their best and spectators to enjoy the sport at its finest — without worry.
We deeply value the opportunity the Games give Chemours to tell our story and help more people understand how Opteon™ solutions fit into their lives, businesses and communities. Opteon™ products are based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) chemistry and have zero ozone depletion potential and low to ultra-low global warming potential. The Opteon™ portfolio contains solutions that meet the most stringent air conditioning, refrigeration, thermal management, foam blowing, and cleaning applications requirements while reducing their overall environmental impact.
