MAHLE and Tata Motors, along with the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (IGSD) , which is coordinating the project, received funding from the Coaltion to develop the SL-MAC system. This project also implemented in partnership with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) envisages use and trial of environment friendly, low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants HF01234yf (ASHRAE A2L) and HFC-152a (ASHRAE A2).

The activity's overall objective is to promote broader uptake of more climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs, particularly in developing countries. While one low-GWP alternative to HFCs in MACs (HFO-1234yf) is being implemented in Europe, Japan, and North America, no alternative is yet used in the identified country or region of the proposed project and HFO-1234yf systems have not yet been implemented anywhere using the secondary-loop designs to reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint.
This technology demonstration is expected to result in reductions of both HFCs and CO2 (from the lower energy consumption of new technologies), which will be monitored, quantified and reported. Reduced manufacturing and ownership cost of SL-MACs will encourage global implementation to phase-down high-GWP HFCs. The project specifically aims to:
Lead Partner: A Coalition partner with an active role in coordinating, monitoring and guiding the work of an initiative.
Implementer: A Coalition partner or actor receiving Coalition funds to implement an activity or initiative.
