shecco has launched a dedicated industry platform dedicated exclusively to water as a refrigerant. News, products and community presented in a user-friendly design will update an international readership of already 10,000 experts about developments in water refrigeration technologies and relevant policies. After R744.com, ammonia21.com and hydrocarbons21.com, R718.com will be the fourth to complement the range of effective communication tools to bring sustainable refrigerants “faster to market”.

The heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors are important and constantly growing emitters of greenhouse gases. The switch to natural refrigerants can contribute significantly to alleviating pressure on the climate system. In the continued effort to bring natural refrigerant technologies faster to market, marketing and communication specialist shecco is launching R718.com, dedicated to water as refrigerant, to join the global natural refrigerant platforms that so far have focused on CO₂ (R744), hydrocarbons and ammonia.

“We are very pleased to launch R718.com as the fourth industry platform dedicated to using a truly sustainable refrigerant. After the continued success we had with R744.com, ammonia21.com, and hydrocarbons21.com, we are confident that offering up-to-date information and real-time knowledge exchange can help this industry grow,” says Marc Chasserot, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of R718.com. “Furthermore, R718.com fits in seamlessly with the other three platforms and serves as gateway to THE global online community uniting experts in natural refrigerants from all over the world.”
