Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are commonly used as substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. HFCs are considered more environmentally friendly because they don't deplete the ozone layer like CFCs, although they still contribute to global warming. As an alternative, natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons (propane, isobutane) or carbon dioxide are being used as they have lower global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential.
