Best practiceProduct: CryoTech transport refrigeration
Thermo King’s CryoTech transport refrigeration technology uses a recycled natural refrigerant in a simple, robust system to eliminate both noise and emissions, granting your vehicles access to restricted zones night and day. The CO2 refrigerant used in the CryoTech system is sourced from recycled waste gas captured from the production of fertilizer and other chemical compounds. The refrigerant would otherwise be released into the atmosphere as a by-product, such that there is no cumulative global warming effect caused by its use in the CryoTech system. Moreover, CryoTech technology has a very low operating noise, ensuring conformity with the Piek standard of 60dB(a) limit during nighttime deliveries in urban areas. Thermo King’s CryoTech technology is the ideal solution for transport refrigeration, meeting stringent environmental legislations will ensuring highest product quality. …

Best practiceSuccess story: Sure Chill refrigerators for Yemen vaccination campaign
A number of refrigerators with the latest Sure Chill technology will be used during immunization campaigns in 11 regions of the United Arab Emirates, hereby strengthening the country’s healthcare sector. The patented Sure Chill cooling technology enables medical refrigerators to store vaccines adequately without power for ten days or more. This technology was selected by the Emirates Red Crescent as one of 30 companies from 2271 entries aimed at tackling Yemen’s health crisis. The solar-powered vaccine refrigerators were manufactured by Godrej Appliances and delivered to the Public Health and Population Office …
MemberThe Fridge Factory
The Fridge Factory, which used to be called Palfridge, was the first refrigeration manufacturer in the sub-Saharan region to convert their production lines to the use of natural refrigerants. With support of the GIZ Proklima, the entire production of domestic and commercial refrigeration appliances was converted to hydrocarbon refrigerants between 2008 and 2011. In 2012 the factory converted its foam blowing agent from the ozone depleting HCFC -141b to cyclopentane which has no ODP and a low GWP. …
Best practiceProduct: Beverage cooler EM1140
The Fridge Factory’s upright beverage cooler EM1140 has 8 shelves with a storage capacity of up to 670 330ml cans. It is made for tropical climates between 10 and 32°C, and operates on propane (R290). …
Best practiceProduct: Minus 40 - Hydrocarbon refrigerant for refrigeration systems in supermarkets and shops
Hychills’ Minus 40 hydrocarbon refrigerant is a high-purity, propane (R290) refrigerant used in medium to low temperature refrigeration systems such as supermarkets and shops. Minus 40 provides all benefits associated with hydrocarbon refrigerants while simultaneously avoiding environmental damage and global warming. Minus 40 is commonly used in small-scale cooling appliances such as food display cabinets and ice cream and drink dispensing machines. It is also ideal for use in split system air conditioners. Reduced operating pressure and excellent heat absorption capacity provide users with up to 30% reduction in energy consumption. Its superior thermodynamic properties make it an ideal refrigerant for use in 6-star Energy Efficiency rating systems. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable, and therefore require accredited technicians to install and maintain them. HyChill hydrocarbon refrigerants carry a distinctive “rotting cabbage” odour so that any leak is immediately noticed and rectified. …
MemberGodrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd.
India’s first manufacturer to convert to hydrocarbons Godrej was the first Indian company to manufacture hydrocarbon fridges in the 1990s. In 2012, Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. launched a new production line for split air-conditioners using propane (HC-290). The new models consume less energy than the current models with the highest energy efficiency ratings from other brands available in India. …
Best practiceProject: Room air-conditioner conversion project
Between 2008 and 2013, GIZ Proklima, on behalf of the German Environmental Ministry, supported the Indian company Godrej & Boyce to introduce hydrocarbon-driven (R290) split and room air conditioners to the Indian Market. Godrej & Boyce have installed a production line for R290 ACs while considering the necessary safety procedures to counter the risks arising from flammable hydrocarbon-based technology. Product certification and technician training are also a focus of the project. The new ACs have been designed according to European safety standards and have the highest energy efficiency in their class, hereby saving electricity costs and reducing indirect emissions. Each production line produces around 180,000 HCFC-free, energy efficient units annually. The direct and indirect emissions saved by these units, compared to earlier models using F-gases, amount to around 1 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. …
Best practiceProduct: India’s first R290 air conditioner
Since developing India’s first commercially available hydrocarbon (R290) air conditioner in 2012 in collaboration with GIZ and the Indian government, Godrej & Boyce have sold over 100,000 air conditioning units and now boast an annual production capacity of 180,000 units. Given the lack of national standards for natural refrigerants in India, Godrej & Boyce filled a market gap when developing the country’s first R290 air conditioning technology. The family business received an investment grant from the German Environment Ministry’s International Climate Initiative (IKI). The green technology was designed to find a balance between electricity consumption and environmental impact. With an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 3.9, the R290 ACs save up to 10% energy compared to five-star air-conditioners. Godrej & Boyce now hold a 13% market share in the five-star AC market in India, making it the third largest shareholder. Current models are restricted by a hydrocarbon charge size limit of 350 grams and 12,000-18,000 British thermal units, but Godrej & Boyce is seeking technological support from other manufacturers to achieve higher capacities. …
