West Coast College (WCC) envisions to be an internationally recognized Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) institution responsive to the skills development and training needs of the 21st century. It provides TVET services of relevance and has a responsive programme qualification mix by training students to be skilled, employable and entrepreneurial; and have access to and achieve success in Higher Education. WCC was selected for a pilot project of the Partnership between Bavaria and South Africa’s Western Cape region on climate-friendly cooling technologies – training, technical advice, and knowledge and technology transfer in 2019. In the scope of the pilot project, a training on hydrocarbon refrigerants for RAC students was conducted at WCC with training material provided by GIZ Proklima and equipment donated by GCI. The pilot training was conducted in the green laboratory of the newly built RAC training center of WCC. With the green laboratory, WCC actively drives the transformation to natural refrigerants. …

At ChillTechnologies, our whole mission is built upon the following goals: In a warming world, to reduce both the cost of cooling and its environmental impact, so that it becomes accessible to all, without further damaging the planet To increase access to vital cooling technology for all communities, contributing to saving lives and improving financial and environmental outcomes To make our technology as available in the Global South as it is in the North To deliver technology which reduces GHG emissions significantly To use refrigerants with zero GWP (Global Warming Potential) and zero ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) To recognize that it is through our practical and real contributions that we make the greatest impact. …

Its work focuses on assisting developing countries transition towards more low carbon development paths, and supports integration of climate-resilience in national development through in-depth research, policy analysis, and capacity building activities. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UN Environment and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) established UNEP DTU Partnership in 1990. …

The National Ozone Unit jointly with GIZ Proklima organised training sessions on the clearing of refrigerants used in cooling systems for customs and excise officials and clearing agents  

Amman - In October 2016, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) successfully commissioned the installation of two new solar Cooling Systems. The two solar systems were installed at the Irbid Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Culture Centre in Amman. Using solar energy, Jordan can cool buildings in a climate friendly manner.

Edinburgh - On occasion of the 12th Gustav Lorentzen Working Fluids Conference (August 21st to 24th 2016), the Green Cooling Initiative (GCI) held a workshop on technical barriers to the implementation of natural refrigerants (NR) in developing countries. Several projects and activities were described, covering widespread application of R290 in residential and commercial ACs, HC in commercial refrigeration and R290 in large cold rooms.
