  • 03.05.2023 News Trainers, Technicians and Dealers in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning trained in Green Cooling

    Several treaties on the control and elimination of substances that contribute to global warming have been signed worldwide.

  • 31.07.2024 News 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.
