HFO’s Market Entry—Refrigeration & Air Conditioning

   • The US is the world’s largest HFC market dominated by refrigeration & air conditioning
     applications. In turn HFO will have the world’s largest market in the US where it will
     partially replace the use of HFCs
   • Alternative hydrocarbon refrigerants such as propane and isobutane are expected to
     take a significant portion of the market as the phase out of HFCs advances in the US
   • The shift to hydrocarbon refrigerants in the US will strongly resemble recent
     developments in Europe & Japan where hydrocarbon refrigerants have displaced HFCs
     in domestic and commercial refrigeration
   • Regions outside of the US, Europe and Japan will also shift from HFC refrigerants to
     alternative refrigerants including HFO, hydrocarbons and other not-in-kind alternatives.
     The lower cost of hydrocarbon and other not-in-kind alternative refrigerants will tend to
     limit HFOs to applications to where there are performance advantages

HFO’s Market Entry—Propellants, Foam Blowing and
Solvent Use
   • For aerosol propellants HFO-1234ze can provide an alternative to using HFC-134a and
     HFC-152a
   • For plastic foam blowing HFO-1234ze can provide an alternative for HFC-134a, HFC-
     152a, HFC-245fa and HFC-365mfc.
   • For solvent uses HFO-1234ze can provide an alternative to HFC-134a and HFC-
     431mee and other niche fluorochemicals also subject to phase out due to their high
     GWP.
   • As with other HFC segments not all applications will shift to HFO so there will be some
     loss of markets to not-in-kind alternatives

Impacts to Fluorspar Consumption and the Market?

   • Given the current HFC phase-outs in place plus the rise in production of HFOs IHS
     projects a rise in acidspar direct and indirect demand from 2015 through 2019 for the US
     and Europe.
   • Between 2015 and 2019 there will be significant transitions in the market segments
     served by HFCs as specific HFCs and blends are phased out and replacement products
     are phased in. There will be:
             Continuing new equipment introductions using new refrigerants (MAC, Stationary
              a/c, Refrigeration) including HFOs, and not-in-kind alternatives
             HFC producers will be inclined to rationalize HFC production so expect production
              allocations to be sold to other producers as plants are closed
             HFC consumers may experience a tight market for HFC supply as allocations are
              imposed particularly beginning in 2018

FLUORSPAR 2015/ OCTOBER 2015

Summary      • There will be continuing changes to the
               regulations—stay tuned for updates
             • In the US much of the recent regulatory
               change has been the result of executive
               order—current policy could be changed
               by a new administration
             • Watch for developments in China’s
               activity in both fluorochemical markets
               and climate change regulations
