GE Refrigerators Go on Greenhouse Gas Diet
Summary
GE has developed greener way to keep your food fresh; a new refrigerator, powered by an environmentally friendly gas: cyclopentane. GE states that the switch will approximately eliminate the same amount of greenhouse gases that 78,000 cars release in one year. This substitution stands alongside GE’s Ecomagination initiative, producing green-technology products and reduce the company’s environmental footprint. Furthermore, General Electric is also aiming to introduce cyclopentane to its other refrigeration products made in the United States by 2014.
General Electric's latest green-technology initiative will be found in unlikely place: the inside of a refrigerator.
