This UNIDO project, funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and UNIDO, aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by promoting the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants in cold storage facilities in Viet Nam. The new technology generated a relevant energy saving (up to 30%) on top of protecting the environment. The replacement of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) with natural refrigerant technologies reduces the environmental impact of food industries and improves their business model.
