## How they are linked

### 1. Price link: refrigerants

*Cost and price · Weak · Both ways*

Many industrial heat pumps use fluorinated refrigerants, while high-temperature units turn to natural fluids or steam. Yearly moves correlate at 0.23 with the fluorocarbon proxy, a weak cost link. Phase-down rules raise the cost of older fluids.
