Webinars facts
Join our CTCN Consortium Partner, GIZ, for this webinar on refrigeration and air-conditioning technologies. Refrigeration and air conditioning are responsible for a significant share of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Especially in developing and emerging countries, the demand for cooling equipment is rising. Low levels of efficiency and high leakage rates of refrigerant gases with high global warming potential will increase these emissions drastically.
The objective of this webinar is to explain the complexity and link of cooling technologies to national mitigation strategies in regard to energy efficiency, energy supply, refrigerant use and the transfer of environmentally friendly technologies in the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors to and within developing countries.
Opening speech by CTCN, Agathe Laure
Presenters: The webinar is presented by four experts from the European Commission, United Nations Environment Programme and the German Development Agency GIZ:
- Patrick Blake is a Policy Expert at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). He works on the UNEP – GEF en.lighten and United for Efficiency (U4E) initiatives, which support countries in the transition to energy efficient lighting, appliances and equipment.
- Philipp Denzinger is leading global projects on green cooling technologies. In his work he works with various partner countries on the promotion of climate-friendly technology transfer.
- Johanna Gloël is a consultant of HEAT GmbH and works for GIZ Proklima on various projects. She is an expert on global market development and mitigation potential in the refrigeration, air-conditioning and foam sector.
- Cornelius Rhein works at the European Commission DG Climate Action and was involved in the development of the EU Regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases and follows actively the negotiations of an HFC amendment of the Montreal Protocol.
