The ‘Green Balance’ units have received a five-star energy efficiency rating, the highest available rating award by India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

As of September 2018, Indian manufacturer Godrej had sold over 600,000 R-290 based (propane) room air-conditioning units across India. The ‘Green Balance’ units have received a five-star energy efficiency rating, the highest available rating award by India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Godrej have developed a system to help ensure safe installation and use of this Cool Technology, with no incidents to date. They have a standardised training program and a pool of over 5,000 certified technicians. Each technician has a unique code, ensuring only a Godrej-trained and certified technician can service and installs these systems.
Godrej and the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusamenarbeit (GIZ) are working together to support training for safe installation and servicing in several countries across South East Asia, with pilot projects in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesian and Thai room air-conditioner manufacturers have visited Godrej’s R-290 unit manufacturing facilities. It is hoped that these will help pave the way for the uptake of propane room air conditioners across the region.
In 2017 Godrej started selling it’s ‘Green Balance’ propane-based room air-conditioners in the Maldives

Sanyo sells hydrocarbon domestic refrigerators and CO₂ commercial refrigerators. The company also sells CO₂ showcases and heat pumps, and CO₂ compressors for vending machines. The company reports that since 2005 almost all beverage companies in Japan had purchased vending machines from them with natural refrigerants (either CO₂ or HC). There are over 60,000 CO₂ vending machines in the Japanese market today. Sanyo also produces compressors for “hot and cold” CO₂ vending machines that provide both hot and cold beverages in one machine. As well, the company produces CO₂ heat pumps and water heaters under the label “EcoCute”. Industry-wide, EcoCute has a market volume of over 1 million units since 2001. It is reported that up to 500,000 EcoCute units are produced annually, representing the largest market for CO₂ refrigerants in the world.

Liebherr claim that their cabinets are 20% more energy efficient than competitors. Their supermarket display cabinets combine variable speed compressors and precision controls for enhanced energy efficiency.

Liebherr was the first manufacturer to have changed to environmentally friendly HFC-free refrigerants for its entire range of household and professional refrigerators and freezers. Based on the Greenfreeze™ hydrocarbon technology, the Liebherr line uses R600a and R290 as the refrigerants of choice for its refrigerators, cold-storage cases and chest freezers, and has achieved award-winning energy efficiency as a result.
