In this report, we reveal that the take-up of climate-friendly refrigeration by supermarket chains is spreading faster and more widely than ever. We are concerned that major retailers are missing an easy climate win and the chance to significantly lower their energy bills, by not fitting doors on refrigeration units
A new wave of technology is spurring a European refrigeration revolution, slashing energy usage and eliminating the need for harmful chemicals. This report shows supermarket chains throughout the EU are moving away from traditional hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) towards natural refrigerants, reaping benefits in the process
Suggested revisions to the EU F-Gas Regulation. We argue that proposals contain the basic elements required to tackle hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions but lacks ambition and advances an incomplete regulatory framework
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) represent about one per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is expected to soar in coming decades. This report argues that the time for action on HFCs has arrived; failure to do so will result in an additional year of inertia and circular debates
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Montreal Protocol and its history of unparalleled success, we owe it to ourselves to reflect not just on our achievements, but also on the challenges ahead, which we are currently failing to address
The latest of our annual reports focusing on the use of climate-damaging refrigerants in major supermarket chains and progress to move away from harmful HFCs to climate-friendly alternatives. Chilling Facts IV finds 344 stores have now made the transition, with thousands of engineers trained to service them
