05/2025 PublicationIncluding HFC Emissions in National Inventory Reports - Tier 1 Approach
This module introduces an MS Excel-based worksheet that facilitates the understanding of applied formulas for Tier 1.
05/2025 PublicationConserving Fish and Climate in Félane, Senegal
In many regions, access to ice and refrigeration is much more than a simple need: it is essential for local economies, particularly for sectors such as fishing and agriculture, which rely on good preservation of products. In Félane, a locality in Senegal, our project ROCA put in place an innovative solution to meet this challenge.
04/2025 PublicationHFC Emission Baseline Tool
The HFC Emission Baseline Tool introduces a practical methodology that leverages existing consumption data to establish robust HFC emission baselines for inclusion in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
04/2025 PublicationWhite paper for immediate steps for a sustainable future
Natural refrigerants like propane (R290) present a unique opportunity for the reefer industry to cut emissions, meet global climate targets, and drive sustainable innovation. A new white paper by GIZ and the Kuehne Climate Center outlines how the transition can succeed – and highlights four key actions for a future-proof, climate-friendly cold chain.
04/2025 Publication - BrochureR290 Split Air Conditioners Resource Guide (Update 2025)
This resource guide, published by GIZ Proklima and the German Environment Agency, closes knowledge gaps and informs about the factors that are deemed crucial for a successful market transition to energy-efficient R290 split ACs. The first version of the guide from 2019 has now been updated.
11/2024 PublicationNational energy efficiency strategy for domestic and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration in Senegal
The growing demand for electricity has a number of implications, principally more frequent power shortages as generation fails to meet the increased demand. This in turn leads to significant investment in additional power stations. The additional electricity production will increase CO₂ emissions, contributing to the climate crisis. This demand could be reduced if energy were used more efficiently.
11/2024 PublicationMOP36 Side Event: Introducing Green Cooling in West and Central Africa
Experiences by the ROCA project
The project Refroidissement respectueux de l'Ozone et du Climat en Afrique de l'Ouest et Centrale (ROCA) promotes Green Cooling in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mali, and Senegal. It’s the first project in this region with a focus on natural refrigerants. In this side event, ROCA representatives presented results and lessons learnt of their work.10/2024 PublicationModule on an exemplary Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system for a mitigation action in the cooling sector
As part of the efforts to improve the accountability of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) measures, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems are indispensable and need to be strengthened and designed for the cooling sector.
10/2024 PublicationMOP36 Side Event: Cool your NDCs!
How to integrate the cooling sector in the NDCs
Our side event showed guidelines, tools, and best practices. As a highlight, we launched our newest module showcasing how progress and achievements of mitigation measures included in the NDCs can be measured and reported.
10/2024 PublicationEuropean Union Climate Dialogues (EUCDs) on HFC phase-down
European Climate Dialogues (EUCDs) on HFC phase-down: Implementing the Kigali Amendment and Beyond. Sharing experiences and best practices amongst National Ozone Units, climate change and energy efficiency experts of major HFC producing and consuming countries to phase down climate damaging HFCs in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector.
