  • 08/10/2024 Actualité Now available: Safety Standards for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning in the Philippines

    In implementing the projects Cool Contributions fighting Climate Change (C4) and C4II, the Philippines has unique expertise when it comes to safety standards in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps (RACHP). A new report is now available that presents the Philippines' experience in adopting international RACHP safety standards as national standards. 

  • 01/10/2024 Actualité High GWP Refrigerants Face Soaring Prices as Natural Alternatives Offer Stability

    Since March 11, 2024, the application of the EU F-gas regulation has set very ambitious targets in all sectors regarding the phase-out of HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons). As a result, prices of conventional refrigerants have increased steadily up to 1000% (see Figure 1) and higher from their initial prices of between 3 – 5 EUR/kg in 2014. In contrast, the prices of alternative refrigerants have remained stable since their levels in 2020, according to German environmental consulting firm Öko-Recherche.

  • 31/07/2024 Actualité Side Events at OEWG46 - Accelerating the transition to future friendly cooling

    To break the vicious circle of rising temperatures, growing demand for cooling and constantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions from cooling, we need to switch to Green Cooling. Our first side event at the OEWG46 in Montreal provided insights into the interactions between suitable regulatory frameworks and market trends that are accelerating future friendly ACs and heat pumps usage in China and Europe. The second side event put spotlight on a sustainable refrigerant management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as ozone-depleting substances from end-of-life cooling equipment.
     

  • 31/07/2024 Actualité Training of trainers on Eco-friendly refrigerants in Bangladesh

    With global temperatures rising, urbanization progressing, and economies growing, the demand for cooling solutions is increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, many of the current refrigerants harm the environment and significantly contribute to global temperature rise. In 2023, the refrigeration sector was responsible for an estimated ten to twelve percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.To combat this, the international community has committed in the Montreal Protocol to phase out ozone-depleting substances, which also have a high global warming potential, such as CFCs and HCFCs. In the Kigali Amendment, they have agreed on phasing-down climate damaging HFCs. In response to these challenges, a five-day training of trainers took place at the Bangladesh-Korea Technical Training Centre (BKTTC), Dhaka in May 2024.
