All about natural hydrocarbon refrigerants in cooling & refrigeration: News, Products, Jobs, Events, Knowledge, Forum, B2B Networking.

Counting already 75 supporters, THENATURALVOICE is the first statement supported by HVAC&R organisations around the world that accentuates the climate friendly potential of natural refrigerants. For the message to effectively reach policy makers worldwide, the statement is now also available in Russian, Spanish and Japanese.

Just three months after the launch of the intitiative, 75 organisations have signed the statement, among them Unilever, “Refrigerants, Naturally!”, Mayekawa, Hychill and the International Institute of Refrigeration. The signatories of THENATURALVOICE recall that natural refrigerants, including hydrocarbons, “are a technically viable, safe, and efficient option for refrigeration, heating and cooling applications” and “stand ready to actively support natural refrigerants as a global safe and sustainable alternative to fluorinated gases.

With suppliers, end-users, associations, and research organisations continuously joining THENATURALVOICE, there is a growing momentum to recognise the potential of natural refrigerants by the Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry.

Reaching out to policy makers worldwide

This unprecedented industry gathering to support natural refrigerants comes at a time when all climate negotiators are looking for effective means to achieve deep cuts against rising emissions. “We will ensure that THENATURALVOICE is heard worldwide by policy makers negotiating the future implementation of the Montreal Protocol and the UNFCCC”, says Christianna Papazahariou, spokesperson of the initiative.

To make THENATURALVOICE grow stronger, further support is strongly encouraged. No matter if your organisation is already actively driving the market for natural working fluids or if you just want to express your consent with the stated aim to support the opportunities hydrocarbons and other non-fluorinated gases provide, please send your organisation’s name and logo to speakup@thenaturalvoice.org.
