More than just training: Mali's refrigeration technicians are committed to combating the climate crisis and protecting the environment.
The low level of knowledge of refrigeration and air conditioning stakeholders in Mali about fluorinated gases and natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons, as well as the growing demand for refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, motivated the project "Ozone and Climate friendly Cooling in West and Central Africa (ROCA)" to organize ten training sessions on the safe handling of natural refrigerants. The training sessions took place from 24 October to 08 December 2023 at the Ecole Centrale pour l'Industrie, le Commerce et l'Administration (ECICA) in Bamako.
