Greenpeace is committed to accelerating the phase-out of HCFCs and HFCs while promoting the commercialization of natural refrigerants used in cooling equipments.  

Our work involves raising public awareness on F-gases and natural refrigerants, voicing our concern in intergovernmental forums on climate change, and lobbying national government to enact time-binding legislations that discourage the use of HCFCs and HFCs.

Most importantly, we are working with leading refrigeration and air-condition users as well as leading manufacturers to increase the market demand for natural refrigerants. We have already had success in this area, with a major group of companies forming the Refrigerants, Naturally! coalition to push the issue forward.

Greenpeace challenges companies—whether they are refrigeration users or appliance manufacturers—to join the effort in phasing-out the use of HFCs and HCFCs in their businesses in favor of natural refrigeration technology.
