This guide was developed in close collaboration with industry and wider stakeholders to share knowledge and experience of Scope 3 good practice within the cooling and wider manufacturing sectors.
Overview
It focuses on addressing and providing solutions to key challenges that cooling refrigerant and equipment manufacturers are likely to encounter when managing their Scope 3 emissions, through the provision of case studies, insights and examples from the cooling and other manufacturing sectors.
The guidance focuses on addressing and providing solutions to key challenges that cooling refrigerant and equipment manufacturers are likely to encounter when managing their Scope 3 emissions.
The information aims to:
- Outline the drivers behind the rise in demand for cooling solutions, and the benefits of cooling to climate and the global population.
- Explore Scope 3 emissions, and ways in which to tackle and measure them.
- Describe how to deal with use-phase emissions and the importance of engaging with the value chain, providing insights on how best to do this.
- Highlight common challenges faced by cooling businesses when managing and reducing their Scope 3 emissions; case studies are provided to demonstrate how others have overcome these challenges.
This guide is aimed primarily at the manufacturers and value chains of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, refrigeration systems (e.g. fridges), and the refrigerant gases used in these systems (e.g. hydrofluorocarbons).
