Refrigerant R152 to India in the New Year

Embarking on a New Journey: Shenhui Technology Successfully Ships First Batch of Eco-Friendly Refrigerant R152 to India in the New Year

Qingdao, January 2026—Under the dawn light of the New Year, Shenhui Technology celebrated a momentous beginning. During the New Year’s period, a shipment of eco-friendly refrigerant R152, securely stored in specialized tank containers, stood poised at Qingdao Port. Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, the silvery-white tanks gleamed with a promise of technology and commitment. This significant consignment is now embarking on a voyage to India, marking the successful launch of Shenhui Technology’s global supply chain for 2026 and heralding the start of a new chapter in the company’s collaboration with overseas clients.

In the early morning at Qingdao Port, a gentle sea breeze brushed across shimmering waters. Dozens of specially designed tank containers, resembling silver-armored sentinels, stood in orderly rows along the dock. Bathed in the morning sun, these tanks reflected a soft yet steadfast glow, forming a striking industrial tableau against the boundless sea and sky.

“This is Shenhui Technology’s first ‘overseas gift’ of the New Year,” remarked Mr. Zhang Mingyuan, Supply Chain Director of Shenhui Technology, as he watched the loading process from the dock. “Each tank carries our commitment to Indian customers and represents the unwavering strides of Chinese manufacturing toward greener, more sustainable solutions.”

The shipped refrigerant, R152 (1,1-difluoroethane), is an environmentally advanced refrigerant with a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to traditional alternatives. It is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for applications in air conditioning, refrigeration equipment, and aerosol propellants. As global environmental regulations tighten, the demand for eco-friendly refrigerants in the Indian market continues to grow. Shenhui Technology, with its cutting-edge production processes and stringent quality control systems, has emerged as a key supplier to several prominent enterprises in the region.

“The demand for environmentally friendly refrigerants in India is rising rapidly,” explained Ms. Li Wei, International Business Manager at Shenhui Technology. “Our R152 product not only meets international environmental standards but also excels in energy efficiency and safety. This shipment will support Indian clients in adopting greener refrigeration solutions across manufacturing and service industries.”

To ensure the smooth departure of this inaugural New Year shipment, the Shenhui Technology team began meticulous preparations weeks in advance. Every step—from tank cleanliness inspections and sealing tests to transportation route planning and customs documentation—was rigorously scrutinized.

“Transporting refrigerants in tank containers demands exceptional technical and safety standards,” noted Mr. Chen Zhigang, Operations Supervisor. “We employed multi-layered protective designs and real-time monitoring systems to maintain the stability of the refrigerant during the long sea voyage. Additionally, all tanks are certified by professional institutions and fully comply with international hazardous materials transportation regulations.”

Notably, Shenhui Technology incorporated the latest IoT tracking technology for this shipment. Clients can monitor real-time data on cargo location, temperature, and pressure through a dedicated platform, ensuring full transparency throughout the logistics process.

As two of the world’s major emerging economies, China and India are deepening their cooperation in environmental technology. Shenhui Technology’s entry into the Indian refrigerant market represents not only a business expansion but also a shared commitment to addressing climate change and advancing green transformation.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Indian partners in promoting the adoption of eco-friendly refrigeration technologies,” said Mr. Wang Lifeng, CEO of Shenhui Technology. “2026 is a pivotal year for Shenhui Technology’s global expansion. This shipment of R152 to India is more than just a consignment—it is a bridge to building long-term trust with our overseas clients. We look forward to contributing to green development in India and beyond through high-quality products and services.”

As the final set of tank containers was securely loaded onto the vessel, the ship, carrying Shenhui Technology’s aspirations for the New Year, slowly departed from Qingdao Port, cutting through the waves toward India. Seagulls circled in its wake, and sunlight bathed the deck, as if bestowing nature’s blessings on this journey.
