Suc­cess sto­ry: De­mons­tra­ting cli­ma­te be­ne­fits of a HCFC pha­se-out in Ban­gla­desh

In November 2015, Walton launched a new line of refrigerators that run on the natural refrigerant isobutane. The project was supported by the United Nations Development Programme under Bangladesh’s national HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP). The market transition to green cooling technologies will avoid 65 MT of HCFC-134a emissions annually, as well as savings of about 14 million kWH annually. The project was successfully completed by the end of 2016, and was implemented in a cost-effective and safe manner.
