概要

世界の天然冷媒市場は、地球温暖化やオゾン層破壊に対する意識の高まりから、CAGR3.05%で成長し、2028年には約16億1,979万米ドルに達すると予測されています。

世界気象機関(WMO)によると、2022年、世界の平均気温は産業革命前の平均より約1.15[1.02~1.28]℃上昇すると推定されています。

環境対応型冷媒に関する意識の高まり

発展途上国でも先進国でも、HVAC分野でハイドロフルオロカーボン(HFC)、ハイドロクロロフルオロカーボン(HCFC)、クロロフルオロカーボン(CFC)などの合成冷媒を使用すると、オゾン層の破壊や環境の温度上昇をもたらす有害ガスが発生します。地球の温度上昇は、氷河の融解による海水面の上昇で多くの地域で洪水が発生したり、森林の焼失や森林伐採など、気候変動に影響する多くの問題を引き起こします。この問題を克服するため、多くの政府・非政府組織が、合成冷媒に代わる環境に優しい冷媒の利用や、自然冷媒技術に関する啓発プログラム・トレーニングを開始し、地球の表面温度をコントロールする取り組みを行っています。

例えば、North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council(NASRC)は、2023年4月4日から6日にかけて、カリフォルニア州アーウィンデールで初の天然冷媒トレーニングサミットを開催します。

多くの企業が政府の支援を受けて、総炭素排出量と有害ガスの放出を減らすために、環境に優しい新しい冷媒を発売しています。アンモニア、二酸化炭素、炭化水素などの環境に優しい冷媒または自然冷媒は、合成冷媒と比較して、地球温暖化への寄与がないか、わずかなものです。自然冷媒は、温室効果ガスの排出を恒久的に削減する最も効果的な方法の一つであり、費用対効果の高い気候緩和策と考えられています。

例えば、国連環境計画によると、カンボジアは2023年に冷房需要の削減、食品や医薬品のコールドチェーンの強化、家電製品のエネルギー効率の向上、地球温暖化係数の低い冷媒の使用を奨励するための「国家冷房行動計画」を策定しました。

このように、合成冷媒に代わる自然冷媒の利用に関する意識の高まりは、今後数年間、世界の自然冷媒市場で大きな成長を示すことになるでしょう。

厳しい環境規制の導入

モントリオール議定書とは、地球のオゾン層を保護するために、オゾン層破壊物質の生産と輸入を停止し、大気中の濃度を下げるために結ばれた国際協定です。

例えば、EPA(米国環境保護庁)によると、オゾン層破壊物質(ODS)は、米国ではクラスIまたはクラスIIの禁止化学物質に分類されます。

クラスIの化合物は、オゾン層を破壊する可能性が高いため、一部の例外を除き、米国で段階的に廃止されています。その結果、クラスiの物質の製造や輸入は認められていません。いくつかのクラスI化合物の過渡的な代替品であるハイドロクロロフルオロカーボン(HCFC)は、すべてクラスII物質とみなされます。しかし、これらの物質もオゾン層を破壊し、高い地球温暖化係数を有しています。そこで、これを克服するために、2016年にモントリオール議定書のキガリ改正が世界的に合意され、その中で、多くの国がすでに高GWP冷媒ガスの使用を段階的に減らすための規制や政策、インセンティブ構造を確立していました。そのため、合成冷媒の使用を削減するための政策が準備されています。大きく分けて、先進国の政策は、冷媒のGWPに基づく規制制限と、低GWP冷媒の取り込みのためのインセンティブ構造の2種類に分類されます。

例えば、米国環境保護庁によると、2020年にはHCFC-22とHCFC-142bの生産と輸入を全面的に禁止し、2030年には全てのHCFCの生産と輸入を禁止するとしています。

このように、合成冷媒の生産・輸入に関する厳しい環境規制の高まりは、天然冷媒の需要増につながり、天然冷媒の世界市場の成長につながると予想されます。

天然冷媒の高いポテンシャル

二酸化炭素(CO2)、アンモニア(NH3)、炭化水素(HC)などの自然冷媒は、冷媒として使用した場合、高いエネルギー効率を持つことが知られています。これは、地球温暖化係数(GWP)が低い、オゾン層破壊係数(ODP)が低い、気化潜熱が高いなど、熱力学的に有利な性質を持つため、冷凍サイクルで大量の熱を吸収・放出できるためです。また、天然冷媒は合成冷媒に比べて熱伝導率が高いため、熱を効率よく伝えることができます。そのため、より少ないエネルギーで同じ冷却効果を得ることができ、ランニングコストの削減や二酸化炭素排出量の削減につながります。また、自然冷媒は体積冷却能力が高いため、同じ冷却効果を得るために必要な冷媒量が少なく、設置コストやメンテナンスコストを抑えることができます。さらに、自然冷媒は、冷凍システムのエネルギー効率と持続可能性を大幅に改善する可能性があり、様々な用途で合成冷媒の代替品として使用されることが多くなってきています。したがって、これらすべての要因が、予測期間において天然冷媒の需要を高めています。

CO2は引き続き主要なタイプになる

商業用途に広く使用され、取り扱いが簡単なことから、二酸化炭素は自然冷媒の世界市場で大きな割合を占めると予測されています。二酸化炭素(CO2)は、高い熱交換率、低いポンプ動力、冬季の凝縮圧を下げる能力により、地球温暖化係数(GWP)が1、オゾン破壊係数(ODP)がゼロと、最も効率的な冷媒の一つです。このため、今後数年間は自然冷媒の需要が高まると予想されます。

例えば、KOMAでは、チリング、フリージングなど様々な用途でCO2を冷媒として使用しています。

しかし、合成冷媒に比べ、天然冷媒は世界的に生産工場が少ないため、入手可能な量が限られており、市場の成長を抑制しています。また、天然冷媒には可燃性の炭化水素が含まれており、その利用には適切な安全対策が必要で、さらに設置に余分な費用がかかることが、この市場の課題となっていました。また、天然冷媒の入手が困難であること、一括供給が可能であること、需要が高いこと、新しい用途の研究開発に高い投資を行うことなどが、製品コストの上昇を招き、さらに市場の成長を抑制する要因となっています。

Global Natural Refrigerants market is anticipated to grow at 3.05% CAGR and reach approximately USD 1619.79 million in 2028 due to the growing awareness of global warming and ozone layer depletion. In 2022, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the global mean temperature was estimated to be about 1.15 [1.02 to 1.28] °C above the pre-industrial average.

Currently, conventional refrigerants have a strong potential to cause global warming and ozone depletion, including R407A, R410A R134a, and R544. Growing concern about global warming and other environmental issues are the major factors driving the global natural refrigerant market growth. Natural refrigerants are produced through a biochemical process that utilizes natural resources. The best prevalent natural refrigerants used in HVAC/R applications are carbon dioxide (CO2, R-744), hydrocarbons such as propane (R-290), isobutene (R-600a), and propylene (R-1270), and ammonia (NH3, R-717) whereas other natural refrigerants are water (H2O, R-718) and air (R-729). They are regarded as the sole remedy for the environmental harm caused by synthetic refrigerants since they have very low or no global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Due to these benefits, the demand for natural refrigerants will increase in the upcoming years.

Furthermore, different manufacturers have increased their R&D investments and formulated new environment-friendly refrigerants to meet the standards imposed by the government, which enhance the market during the forecast period.

Increasing awareness regarding Eco-Friendly Refrigerants

In both developing and developed countries, the utilization of synthetic refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the HVAC sector result in generating harmful gases which result in depletion of the ozone layer and increasing the temperature of the environment. The increase in the earth's temperature generates many problems like the melting of glaciers, due to which the water level is increased in the ocean leading to flooding in many areas, burning of forests, and deforestation, which effect the climate cycle. To overcome this problem, many government and non-government organizations started focusing and are taking initiatives to control the earth's surface temperature by starting awareness programs & training regarding natural refrigerant technologies along with the utilization of environment-friendly refrigerants as a replacement for synthetic refrigerants.

For instance, North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC) is hosting its first-ever Natural Refrigerant Training Summit in Irwindale, California, from April 4-6, 2023.

Many companies have launched new environment-friendly refrigerants with the assistance of the government to lessen the total carbon footprint and release of harmful gases. Eco-friendly refrigerants or natural refrigerants, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons, make no or only a small contribution to global warming as compared with synthetic refrigerants. Natural refrigerants are considered one of the most effective ways to permanently reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as cost-effective climate mitigation strategies.

For instance, according to UN Environment Programme, Cambodia developed National Cooling Action Plan in 2023 to reduce cooling demand, strengthen cold chains for food and medicine, improve the energy efficiency of appliances, and encourage the use of low-Global Warming Potential refrigerants.

Thus, increasing awareness regarding the utilization of natural refrigerants as a replacement for synthetic refrigerants will witness substantial growth in the Global Natural Refrigerants Market in the upcoming years.

Adoption of strict environmental regulations

Montreal Protocol is an international agreement that was made to stop the production and import of ozone-depleting substances and reduce their concentration in the atmosphere to help protect the earth's ozone layer.

For instance, according to the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are classified as either class I or class II prohibited chemicals in the United States.

With a few exceptions, class I compounds have been phased out in the United States because of their increased potential to deplete the ozone layer. As a result, no one is allowed to produce or import class I substances. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), a transitional replacement for several class I compounds, are all considered class II substances. But these substances also deplete the ozone layer and have high global warming potential. Therefore, to overcome this, a Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol was agreed upon globally in 2016, in which many countries had already established regulations, policies, and incentive structures to phase down the use of high-GWP refrigerant gases. Thus, the policies are prepared to reduce the use of synthetic refrigerants. Broadly, the policies in developed countries can be classified into two types - regulatory limits based on the GWP of the refrigerant and incentive structures for the uptake of low-GWP refrigerants.

For instance, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2020, a complete ban on the production and import of HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b, and by 2030 ban on the remaining production and import of all HCFCs.

Thus, rising strict environmental regulations regarding the production and import of synthetic refrigerants result in an increasing demand for natural refrigerants, which will lead to the growth of Global Natural Refrigerants market in the projected years.

High Potential of Natural Refrigerants

Natural refrigerants, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), and hydrocarbons (HCs), are known for their high energy efficiency when used as refrigerants. This is because they have favorable thermodynamic properties, such as low global warming potential (GWP), low ozone depletion potential (ODP), and high latent heat of vaporization, which allows them to absorb and release large amounts of heat during the refrigeration cycle. Compared to synthetic refrigerants, natural refrigerants have higher thermal conductivity, which allows them to transfer heat more efficiently. This means that they can achieve the same cooling effect with less energy consumption, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced carbon emissions. Additionally, natural refrigerants have a higher volumetric cooling capacity, which means that they require less refrigerant volume for the same cooling effect, resulting in lower installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, natural refrigerants have the potential to significantly improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of refrigeration systems and are increasingly being used as alternatives to synthetic refrigerants in various applications. Therefore, all these factors raise the demand for natural refrigerants in the forecast periods.

CO2 will Continue to Be a Key Type

Due to its widespread usage in commercial applications and simplicity of handling, carbon dioxide is predicted to account for a sizeable portion of the worldwide market for natural refrigerants. Due to its high heat exchange, low pumping power, and capacity to perform at reduced condensing pressure during the winter season, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), among the most efficient refrigerants. Thus, all such factors and trends are expected to drive the demand for natural refrigerants in the upcoming years.

For instance, KOMA uses CO2 as refrigerants in various applications like chilling, freezing, etc.

However, the limited availability of natural refrigerants, as compared to synthetic refrigerants, due to fewer production plants across the world results in restraining the growth of the market. Moreover, natural refrigerants include hydrocarbons which are flammable, and proper safety precautions are implemented during their utilization which further requires extra costing for installation, which became a challenge for this market. The limited availability, batch supply, and high demand for natural refrigerants as well as high investment in research and development for a new application, cause the rise in the cost of products which further cause restraint the market growth.
