Six refrigerant manufacturers regrouped to create GlobalFACT, a resource for information on the latest news, research and improvements in advanced technologies and low GWP refrigeration solutions.

Six refrigerant manufacturers (Honeywell, Arkema, Chemours, Daikin, Gujarat Fluorochemicals and Mexichem) have come together to create a non-profit membership organisation with the aim of offering information and resources on next-generation, low- and reduced-GWP refrigeration solutions. The organisation is known under the name globalFACT, fact standing for "Forum for Advanced Climate Technologies".

All information on this organisation and all its resources are available on this website. The resources include a white paper on alternative refrigerants and a cost calculator estimating electricity costs and emissions for refrigerant equipment operation.
