GECA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Refrigerants Transition Board to promote the uptake of natural refrigerants in the Australian commercial sector.

The purpose of this agreement is to increase the public recognition of and the commercial uptake of natural refrigerants in a wide range of commercial applications. The first area of particular focus in the supermarket refrigeration sector. The MOU aims to:

1. Develop a GECA voluntary environmental labelling standard considering the diverse environmental loads of commercial refrigeration including equipment types and designs, components, installation and refrigerants.

2. To increase the updake of natural refrigerants through consumer recognition and public demand for GECA certified installations and suitable components.

3. Develop further standards as the program develops and market uptake leads associated industries to transfer their equipment to natural refrigerants.
