Grenada's National Ozone Unit (NOU) in collaboration with the global project Cool Contributions fighting Climate Change II (C4 II) is actively advocating for the use of natural refrigerants in refrigeration and air conditioning appliances by launching a new version of the Green Cooling label.
Consumers and local retailers alike are often not aware of which refrigerators or air conditioners are environmentally friendly. With this new label, it is now easy to identify Green Cooling appliances, which exhibit negligible global warming potential due to their use of natural refrigerants such as propane (R-290) in ACs, and isobutane (R600a) in refrigerators. Notably, these refrigerants are not only more environmentally friendly but offer additional advantages such as higher energy efficiency and lower refrigerant charge.
