When all strengths are shown as a weighted average,<br />
environmental direct and indirect benefits remain the<br />
top score for natural refrigerants’ strengths. On par are<br />
the four factors of operation costs, technology, legislation<br />
and markets & competition. System costs are considered<br />
to be the weakest strength which reconfirms findings<br />
from the barriers section in that newly introduced<br />
natural refrigerant technology is not yet able to compete<br />
with traditional systems on grounds of capital cost.<br />
supply & availability<br />
system costs<br />
