Depends on which type of refrigerator. Some industrial units still use pure ammonia. The CFC refrigerators typically used R12, just like car air conditioners, and likewise switched to R-134a (HFC 134a) when the further production of R-12 was banned.

Which gas is used now a days instead of CFC?

LPG - Liquid propane gas or other Hydrocarbon derivatives... Soft CFC's, they added hydrogen to the CFC's previously used that were called hard CFC's. By doing this it won't allow the CFC's to travel up to the stratosphere, where it breaks down the ozone. With the added hydrogen will stop it in the troposphere and combine to form compounds such as CO2 + HCl (or HF), therefore not harmful to the ozone. Examples CH2Cl (HCFC-22) or CHCl2-CF2 (HCFC-123)
