Greenfreeze and solar chill | Greenpeace International - 0 views

  • When the dramatic discovery of the ozone hole in 1986 forced the banning of chlorofluorocarbons  (CFCs), the refrigeration industry switched to hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HCFC¹s are also ozone depleting substances but less so than CFCs. Meanwhile, both HCFCs and HFCs are potent greenhouse gasses.
  • Greenfreeze uses hydrocarbons as the blowing agent for the insulation foam and for the refrigerant. Hydrocarbons are completely ozone friendly, and used in refrigeration have minimal global warming impact.Hydrocarbon technology is not dependent on patented foaming agents and refrigerants. The operating costs are lower, and the maintenance is easier than with HCFC or HFC technology.

Hydroelectric | Greenpeace International - 0 views

  • Wave powerThe World Energy Council estimates that wave power could produce two terawatts of energy each year. This is twice the world's current electricity production, and is equivalent to the energy produced by 2,000 large oil, gas, coal and nuclear power stations. The total renewable energy within the world's oceans, if it could all be harnessed, would satisfy the present world demand for energy more than 5,000 times over.
