IETA COP26 VIRTUAL BUSINESSHUB - MITIGATION POTENTIAL OF F-GAS MANAGEMENT AND OPTIONS FOR MARKET-BASED APPROACHES

November 3, 2021

Hosted by GIZ Proklima on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.

Environmentally friendly and energy-efficient cooling technologies with natural refrigerants are gaining ground: but as we move into the future, we must not forget the huge emissions stocks in our old cooling appliances. This virtual side event provides an overview on global F-Gas banks, potentials of banks management and options for market-based approaches.
