Green Chill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership (Renewal)

The GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership (hereafter referred to as GreenChill Partnership or GreenChill) is an EPA cooperative alliance with the supermarket industry to promote advanced refrigeration technologies, strategies, and practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas refrigerants. A food retailer's decision to participate in the GreenChill Partnership is completely voluntary. After joining GreenChill by submitting a signed ''Partnership Agreement,'' food retailers are asked to submit a ''Stocks and Emissions Report'' to an independent third party. The form requires partners to provide corporate-wide, aggregated data on the stocks and emissions of all refrigerants used in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning appliances. The independent third party summarizes the information submitted by the food retailers, removes any identifying information, and sends a summary of the information to GreenChill. Partners are then asked to submit a ''Corporate Refrigerant Management Plan'' with their emissions reductions goals for the next year, along with a brief description of their plan to meet that goal (such as retrofitting old equipment, etc.). These two forms are necessary for GreenChill to track annual supermarket refrigerant emissions rates, allowing GreenChill and its food retail partners to benchmark partners' progress on reducing emissions. The partner emissions data is also the basis for the achievement awards that GreenChill gives out to its partners.
