CCAC documents low GWP case studies

CCACFRANCE: The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) has produced an expanded compilation of case studies on lower-GWP commercial and transport refrigeration technologies.

The document, developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) OzonAction Branch as part of UNEP’s work programme under the CCAC, provides a number of new

commercial refrigeration case studies as well as case studies from the transport refrigeration sector, including alternatives not previously considered in the first volume published in 2014.
