GUIDE UNIDO 2013 - Natural Solutions for Developing Countries
Lead authors: Nina Masson, Marc Chasserot, Huiting Jia
Size: 8.83 MB
Number of pages: 84
The GUIDE UNIDO supports economies in transition and developing countries looking for safe, cost-effective and technically viable natural solutions to replace ozone-depleting substances in the heating, refrigeration, air-conditioning and foam-blowing sectors. Its ultimate objective is to share relevant experiences with ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, water and air in the current phase-out of ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in Article 5 countries under the Montreal Protocol.
Jointly researched and published by UNIDO and shecco, the GUIDE is based on two pillars:
1) UNIDO ATMOsphere Technology Summit: Experiences shared and lessons learnt from the conference held on 3-4 June 2013 at the UNIDO headquarters in Vienna. The event focused on technology solutions for the refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors, as well as for the foam sector. It brought together 150 National Ozone Officers, ministry representatives, component and system suppliers, end-users, academics and non-governmental associations to actively discuss the technical, commercial and social viability of natural refrigerants and foams.
2) Global Survey: An online survey jointly launched by UNIDO and shecco addressed stakeholder groups involved in the HCFC phase-out in developing countries and economies in transition. It received responses from 82 countries. This survey was important in capturing and computing the opinions and trends amongst different stakeholders throughout the entire globe.
