Kühle Kette für eine gesunde Versorgung Nach Schätzungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) verderben durchschnittlich 30 Prozent, in tropischen Ländern sogar 50 Prozent der Lebensmittel mangels angemessener Lagerung. 3. Grüne Technik und Wertschöpfung Das Zauberwort heißt Ressourceneffizienz. Der Schlüssel in der Kältetechnik dafür sind natürliche Gase. 4.

Since 1998, GTZ Proklima has started to assist the National Ozone Units (NOUs) of 17 African countries with meeting their CFC phase-out targets under the Montreal Protocol. A national Refrigerant Management Plan (RMP) has been developed and is being implemented for each country. These aim to gradually reduce CFC consumption to zero in the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors.
