Low-GWP Refrigerants
Chemours Launches Refrigerants for AI-Ready Chiller Systems
Mursal Rahman — August 10, 2026Low-GWP refrigerants expand cooling options for large-scale chillers by introducing refrigerants designed to deliver efficient performance with significantly lower global warming potential. Chemours developed Opteon™ ZE and Opteon™ 515B to address the growing cooling demands of AI, cloud computing, and data center infrastructure while maintaining reliable heat removal and regulatory readiness. The products also support commercial buildings, heat pumps, and other mission-critical cooling applications requiring scalable thermal management.
As AI adoption accelerates, demand for efficient cooling technologies is increasing alongside stricter environmental regulations. Low-GWP refrigerants give chiller manufacturers and facility operators more options for reducing emissions while maintaining high-performance cooling systems. Expanding its Opteon portfolio strengthens Chemours' position in the growing market for data center and commercial HVAC infrastructure. The product launch also reflects how refrigerant manufacturers are adapting to long-term demand for lower-emission cooling solutions that support future regulatory compliance and expanding digital infrastructure.
