The primary replacement for CFCs is hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which do not deplete the ozone layer. HFCs have become widely used, though they still raise concerns about climate change. Research continues towards finding even more sustainable alternatives.

The primary replacement for CFCs is hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), as they do not harm the ozone layer. Other options like methyl chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl bromide have various environmental concerns that limit their use. Ongoing research aims to find more sustainable refrigerant solutions. ;
