Facility

Orbia/Koura – Runcorn, Cheshire (UK)

Operated by OrbiaGB · Cheshire

Koura (Orbia) primary European fluorochemicals facility in Runcorn, Cheshire, UK. Produces HFCs including R-404A component HFCs, HCFCs, and next-generation HFOs (HFO-1234ze for commercial refrigeration). Runcorn is a legacy chemical manufacturing city on the Mersey River — historically an ICI site, now operating as specialty fluorochemicals. EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573 restricts new high-GWP HFC equipment in the EU from 2025-2026, pressuring Koura to transition European production toward HFOs. UK post-Brexit continues aligning PFAS/F-gas policy with EU frameworks.
