A briefing to the Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit 2014 in Paris. We stress the importance of CGF members publicly reaffirming their commitment to begin phasing out global-warming refrigerants and to announce the steps they intend to take towards this objective
A briefing to the 19th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting from 11-22 November 2013 in Warsaw, Poland, arguing that swift, effective and large reductions in greenhouse gases must start now
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
China and India are expected to release vast amounts of hydroflourocarbon-23 (HFC-23) into the atmosphere, causing global greenhouse gas emissions to skyrocket. HFC-23, a by-product of HCFC-22 production, used in air-conditioning and refrigeration, is 14,800 times more damaging to the climate than carbon dioxide
A briefing highlighting an opportunity to maximise the climate benefits of the hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) phase-out
A report highlighting the importance of controlling the impact of man-made fluorinated gases on the climate. We argue there is an enormous opportunity here – but also a risk that substitute technologies will focus on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which, could have an equally negative impact on climate change
