Supporting the Chinese Government in the Introduction of Regulations, Norms and Standards for Natural Refrigerants
The project assisted China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection in developing a climate-compatible policy as well as standards and regulatory provisions to support the use of climate-compatible natural refrigerants. To this end, it compiled a summary of the legislation already in place in selected countries, taking into account all the technical, economic and environmental aspects of the use of natural refrigerants. On this basis, the project partners developed an action plan to promote the application of regulatory and financial instruments as well as market-based incentives for the production of environmentally sound air-conditioning systems which do not use climate-damaging fluorinated gases.
