The Big Picture: Leapfrogging to a Sustainable Future
By adopting such Green Cooling solutions, we are deploying technology that kills the heat, not the planet.
The Future of Cooling is Already Here.
It has just not reached every shelf yet.
The Core Benefits of R-290 Air Conditioners
- Lower Electricity Bills: Adopting an R-290 AC unit can save users lots of money in energy costs. Over its livespan, the savings will far outhweigh the elevated upfront costs.
- Climate Protection: R-290 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1, drastically outperforming refrigerants like R-32, which has a GWP of 771 (100-years).
- Proven Safety: R-290 is entirely safe when installed and maintained by properly trained technicians.
- Future-proof: compliant with all current and foreseeable refrigerant regulations.
- No PFAS: R-290 does not break down into harmful forever-chemicals, thereby protecting our health.

GIZ Proklima actively trains technicians around the world in the safe installation and maintenance of Green ACs.
One of our focus areas is Southern Africa. In cooperation with the National Ozone Units, we implement the Cooling Program for Southern Africa (CooPSA) in Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, and South Africa. The project is implemented on behalf of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
