The Cool Coalition is a global network of participants from government, cities, international organizations, businesses, finance, academia, and civil society to facilitate knowledge exchange, advocacy, and joint action toward a transition to efficient, climate-friendly cooling.
AHRI bestowed the honor in appreciation of Sen. Tom Carper's work in successfully shepherding the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act and the Kigali Amendment through the U.S. Senate.
The Kigali Amendment, already agreed to by more than 130 other countries, was ratified by the U.S. Senate on a bipartisan vote, 69-27, on September 21.
In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, AHRI President and CEO Stephen Yurek extolled the benefits of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and urged its “expeditious” ratification.
Will Gresham, executive vice president, Dynatemp Intl., said the company plans to focus on its revamped reclamation program, partner wholesalers, and education this year.
If fully supported by governments, the private sector, and citizens, the Kigali Amendment will avoid up to 0.4°C of global warming this century while continuing to protect the ozone layer. The amendment will substantively contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The new “Chilling Prospects: Providing Sustainable Cooling for All” report, released by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP), outlines recommendations on how to increase access to affordable and sustainable cooling solutions throughout the world.
Driven by Kigali and the European F-Gas regulations, the transition to next generation lower GWP refrigerants is well underway in Europe and Asia. Emerson has been working closely with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), chemical companies, and global industry technical groups to determine the best low GWP refrigerant options for various air conditioning and heat pump applications globally.
