To celebrate World Ozone Day, our Climate Campaigner, Sophie Geoghegan, discusses the success of the Montreal Protocol in protecting the ozone layer by phasing out ozone-depleting substances (ODS) as well as remaining challenges including shifting to climate-friendly cooling and phasing down production of HFC
When most people think of climate change, the energy used by their air-conditioner or the gases used in the fridges at their local supermarkets aren’t normally the first things to come to mind.
Together with Greenpeace, we relaunch our updated Cool Technologies database. Cool Technologies is an easy-to-use, routinely updated, searchable database of sustainable cooling and refrigeration systems from around the world created to help users, manufacturers and policy-makers move away from hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
The Spanish refrigeration body Asociación de Empresas de Frío y sus Tecnologías (AEFYT) has called on the country’s Government to help it continue using climate-harmful hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
