05/2024 Publication - Technical PublicationGreen Refrigeration and Air Conditioning in the Hotel Sector
This publication informs the hotel industry about environmentally, climate and ozone friendly technologies for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) devices. Most of the green alternatives presented here are already available in several countries. By “green” technology, it is referred to devices or appliances that have zero impact on the ozone layer, ultra-low or zero Global Warming Potential (GWP below 10) and are also highly energy efficient.
09/2023 Publication - Technical PublicationRapport national sur l'efficacité énergétique des climatiseurs et réfrigérateurs au Burkina Faso
La demande d'électricité pourrait être considérablement réduite en améliorant l'efficacité énergétique. Cela aurait un double effet: une baisse des coûts pour les consommateurs et une réduction des émissions de CO2. Ce rapport recommande des mesures que le Burkina Faso pourrait prendre pour améliorer son efficacité énergétique dans le secteur de la refrigération et climatisation.

Ce rapport recommande des mesures que le Mali pourrait prendre pour améliorer son efficacité énergétique dans le secteur de la refrigération et climatisation.
10/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationCan refrigerants with a GWP below 150 be used for Heat Pumps in Europe?
In the forthcoming report, the viability of applying alternative refrigerants with a GWP < 150 to domestic heat pumps (DHPs) with nominal heating capacities up to 50 kW will be considered. The assessment will reflect the proposed revision to the European F-gas regulation. DHPs currently use a variety of refrigerants, primarily R410A, but also R32, R407C, R404A, R417A, R454B, R454C, R452B, R448A, R449A, amongst others, all of which are medium or high GWP. A number of models already use R290, whilst other alternative refrigerants with GWP < 150 under consideration are R1270, R1234yf and R152a; all of which are flammable. These low GWP alternatives will be assessed, relative to R410A as baseline and R32 as leading medium GWP refrigerant.
10/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationCan refrigerants with a GWP below 150 be used for split air conditioners in Europe?
The viability of applying selected refrigerants with a GWP < 150 to reversible room air conditioning systems (RACS) with nominal cooling capacities below 12 kW is considered. The assessment reflects the proposed revision to the European F-gas regulation.

This report contains the greenhouse gas inventory for the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector in Kenya.
06/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationGhana Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) Roadmap
The Ghana Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) Roadmap describes how the RAC sector in Ghana can be transformed to be more environmentally friendly.
06/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationNet-zero emission solutions for transport refrigeration in a sustainable cold chain
This technology paper explores the climate impact of transport refrigeration units and the path towards net- zero transport refrigeration.
06/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationPhotovoltaic-powered Air Conditioning in Buildings: Technical economic analysis
This study explores the economic and technical potential of the use of solar PV-powered green air conditioners in 13 countries.
05/2022 Publication - Technical PublicationEnvironmentally and climate-friendly solar-powered walk-in cold rooms
Solar walk-in cold rooms are used as an eco-friendly refrigeration alternative for food and medicine storage. This publication by the Green Cooling Initiative (GCI) and Water and Energy for Food (WE4F) project provides helpful guidelines on how to minimize their climate impact most effectively.
