![]() “To meet our sustainability goals and stay ahead of the new EU legislation, Maersk Line is keen to carefully evaluate all alternatives to the current synthetic refrigerants,” said Ingrid Uppelschoten-Snelderwaard, head of global equipment, Maersk Line. It is classified as A1 for low toxicity and no flame propagation. It is also unaffected by phasedowns of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants and is relatively inexpensive. There is no additional global warming impact resulting from any potential refrigerant leaks, as is the case with traditional systems, since the NaturaLINE unit uses CO2 repurposed from outdoor air. NaturaLINE is the first container refrigeration system to use the natural refrigerant carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a safe and non-ozone-depleting gas with a global warming potential (GWP) of one. ![]() Striving to further reduce the environmental impact of its global shipping operations, Maersk Line has ordered the first 100 of a total of 200 refrigerated containers to be chilled by Carrier Transicold’s NaturaLINE natural-refrigerant-based system.
