Advanced Refrigeration Solutions, USA & Canada

The chemicals used for our everyday refrigeration needs can release especially harmful gases such as Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that can have over 1,000x times greater warming capacity in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

This set of advanced refrigeration projects supports the transition to greener practices among small- and medium-sized industrial businesses to go above and beyond mandates to decarbonize their business processes.

These projects support the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in line with international frameworks, and significantly reduces their release to air, water and soil. These industrial efficiency projects prevent extremely potent greenhouse gases from reaching the atmosphere.

In addition to delivering emission reductions to take climate action (SDG 13), the project delivers other benefits:

• Industry, innovation and infrastructure: This portfolio of projects helps create a more circular economy for refrigeration and air conditioning to avoid the creation of more harmful HFCs. 
• Responsible consumption and production: This portfolio of projects supports the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in line with international frameworks, and significantly reduces their release to air, water and soil.
