Abstract: Achieving the 2050 EU climate targets - an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions - requires a significant increase in the share of renewables in the current energy mix. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) could play an important role in this transformation of today’s energy systems. The ORC is able to convert low-temperature heat sources into electrical power by utilizing refrigerants as working fluids. Many of these refrigerants have a significant global warming potential (GWP) and recent legislations therefore increasingly limit their use. In recent years a new generation of refrigerants has been developed. These refrigerants are characterized by low global warming potentials and are considered as replacements for the old high-GWP refrigerants.
