GreenFreeze is Greenpeace’s campaign to transform the refrigeration and cooling industries by eliminating the use of F-gases, the chemicals used to cool refrigerators, homes, cars, and food in stores and vending machines.
F-gases are potent greenhouse gases that were originally called the “environmental alternative” to CFCs, the ozone depleting refrigerants (e.g. Freon) that were phased out in 1992 by the Montreal Protocol. But F-gases are not an environmental alternative to anything, and are making a significant but unnecessary contribution to global warming.
Greenpeace has been working to elminate F-gases from refrigerators and cooling units for over 20 years. In fact, led by our colleagues in Germany, Greenpeace has transformed the domestic refrigerator industry in Europe and Asia.
