31.07.2024 News Side Events at OEWG46 - Accelerating the transition to future friendly cooling
To break the vicious circle of rising temperatures, growing demand for cooling and constantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions from cooling, we need to switch to Green Cooling. Our first side event at the OEWG46 in Montreal provided insights into the interactions between suitable regulatory frameworks and market trends that are accelerating future friendly ACs and heat pumps usage in China and Europe. The second side event put spotlight on a sustainable refrigerant management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as ozone-depleting substances from end-of-life cooling equipment.

12/2023 PublicationCOP28: Greener Reefers – introducing climate and environmentally friendly maritime cooling containers
Around 3 million reefer containers are currently shipped around the world, and the number is growing annually. Reefer containers are vital for trading chilled and frozen products globally. On their journey however, reefer containers contribute notably to the emissions released by the container shipping industry (236 million tCO2eq. in 2018) and the reefer sector is projected to grow rapidly up to +8% p.a..
12/2023 PublicationCOP28: Avoiding 0.1 degrees Celsius with "Green" Split Air
10 new Air Conditioners (ACs) are being sold every second for the next 30 years. If not addressed, energy demand from ACs will more than triple by 2050, equal to China’s electricity demand today (IEA 2018). Split ACs represent the largest growing sub-sector. At the same time, they are responsible for the largest share of energy, of HCFC and HFC consumption and therefore of CO2-eq emissions.
