08.11.2023 News MOP35 Side Event: World Café on Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficiency is an important matter to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the growing refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) Sector.
The Multilateral Fund (MLF) to the Montreal Protocol is offering a new funding window on financing energy efficiency in the RAC Sector (Decision 89/6 and 91/65). How can this funding window be used? Around 50 participants had lively exchanges on that question at our interactive World Café on Effective Energy Efficiency Measures.Event: 06 February 2024, 2:00pm UTC , EUCD - European Union Climate Dialogues - Workshop 2 (Timezone Latin America)

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.
12/2023 PublicationCOP28: Agrifood Cold Chains: Reducing food losses, waste and methane emissions
Every year, an estimated 14 percent of total food produced is lost in the field, and 17 percent is wasted at the point of retail or consumption. This is enough food to feed approximately 1 billion hungry people around the world. At the same time, the rotting groceries lead to considerable amounts of methane emissions.
One major solution to food loss and waste is increasing access to refrigeration, ensuring that food is kept at suitable temperature conditions from harvest to plate. The experts will highlight the use of sustainable cold chains in the Global South with natural refrigerants, combining energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
13.03.2024 News Mali: Workshop on the Analysis of the Cooling Sector's Regulatory Framework
Cooling sector stakeholders discussed the results of the study on the analysis of the regulatory framework for the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector in Mali. The aim is to create a room for exchange, enabling the best contributions to be collected with a view to improving the regulatory framework for the refrigeration and air conditioning sector in Mali.
