Free, Alternative Refrigerant Learning Resources Available Online
The REAL Alternatives 4 LIFE project recently published a set of newly updated material on its e-learning platform. With the aim of addressing climate change and supporting the rapid move to alternatives from high GWP refrigerants, English versions of nine, low GWP alternative refrigerant learning modules were developed by a team of international experts.
The 15 organization-strong team of project partners — trainers, universities, and trade associations across the European Union — carried out a thorough review of the contents of existing learning materials that were originally developed in 2014. Identifying a need in the market, this review led to the introduction of a new module focusing on safety and risk assessment to highlight precautions needed when handling flammable, toxic, and high-pressure low-GWP refrigerants.
