Coordinating Finance for Sustainable Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

The refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector's transition to low-carbon operations is complicated by its cross-sectoral nature, which spans gas manufacturing, appliance production, and building energy use. This complexity results in fragmented institutional responsibilities and varying policy and compliance regimes. The document aims to map the current financial landscape of the sector, identifying sources of funding and the roles of different stakeholders in achieving ambitious emission reductions.

• The refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector struggles to implement effective finance strategies because it is cross-sectoral, involving everything from the manufacturing of gases and appliances to energy end-use in buildings, which leads to fragmented institutional responsibilities and diverse policy and compliance regimes.
