The Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. In order to support Indonesia's effort to conserve energy and to reduce GHG emissions a "Green Chiller" project was launched. The project, which is funded by the Germany Ministry of the Environment under the International Climate Initiative, is jointly implemented by GIZ and the Indonesian Directorate General for Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (NREEC). 

The main objective of the project is to support Indonesia to create framework conditions which support energy efficiency improvements in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector in industry and commerce.

Through development of a specific National Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) approach in the refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) sector a significant contribution to the achievement of the Indonesian GHG mitigation target shall be made.

The project primarily assists national decision-makers in the ministries of energy, the environment, planning and industry, helping them to create a supportive enabling environment for increasing energy efficiency in trade and industry.
