Proklima advises governments of partner countries on drafting local regulations and setting policies that will comply with all international environmental agreements. Proklima assists companies in replacing ozone depleting technologies with environmentally friendly and economically attractive alternatives. Proklima ensures that promoted replacement technologies comply not only with the obligations under the Montreal Protocol but also with other international environmental agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol. Proklima: Mandate

5. Page 5 5 GTZ Proklima has implemented over 150 projects in more than 40 countries since 1996, with an overall volume of close to US$ 40 million. It is thus the biggest bilateral programme to be associated with the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol.

7. Page 7 7 ECOFRIG (1992-2002 )  1992: ECOFRIG project launched as an Indo-Swiss-German collaboration.  Goal: Contributing to a timely, self-reliant and sustainable phase-out of CFCs in the Indian domestic and commercial refrigeration sector.  Approach: Promotion of low GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant as replacement for CFC refrigerants.  1 st Phase: Application of low GWP cyclopentane foam technology as a replacement of CFC-12, avoiding the transitional HCFC-141b route.  2 nd Phase: Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd. Appliance Division converted to hydrocarbon blend refrigerant. The full size conversion project was implemented with support from the Multilateral Fund to the Montreal Protocol in 2001/2002).  Total investment by Switzerland and Germany: approx. 10 million USD (the industry contribution exceeded this investment).

8. Page 8 8 HIDECOR (2001-2004)  2001: HIDECOR project launched as an Indo-Swiss collaboration.  Goal: Providing training on good servicing practices and hydrocarbon based retrofit to service technicians in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector.  Geographic focus: Initial states: Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujrat, Delhi and West Bengal States added later: Punjab, Haryana, U.P., Rajasthan and Kerala (in anticipation of NCCoPP). Human and Institutional Development in Ecological Refrigeration

9. Page 9 9 NCCoPP (2004-2010)  2004: NCCoPP project launched based on the Agreement between India and the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund.  Goal: Providing training on good servicing practices and to service technicians in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector.  Geographic focus: All over India.  Funding: 6.3 million USD National CFC Consumption Phase-out Plan

10. Page 10 10 Role of Key Players / Implementing Agencies  Overall project management (Lead implementing agency), Co-financing of training, ESS facilitation and distribution,  Training component  Equipment support (ESS), Foam sector, Refrigeration (manufacturing) sector  Awareness component, Customs & Policy training component  Transport refrigeration sector

14. Page 14 14 Marjor Achievements of HIDECOR & NCCoPP  20,000+ technicians trained.  Remote areas of the country accessed (60% programmes were outside the major cities).  Knowledge about CFC Phase-out and Good Service Practices is now wide-spread amongst small firms in covered areas.  Training infrastructure and methodology available for HCFC phase-out but we need to maintain the momentum.  More than 1,000 E&C units, recovery machines etc. distributed  EcoCool newsletter regularly distributed to 20,000+ technicians updating on new technological developments and good servicing practices  Enforcement agencies and customs officers are aware of CFC phase-out

15. Page 15 Significant share of total HCFC consumption (>20%) Probably more than 20,000 enterprises involved Huge variety of applications Most appliances serviced by technicians from informal sector after warranty period Informal sector not covered by OEM training infrastructure Sustainable phase-out needs to include service sector due to risk of reverse conversions Relevance of Service Sector for HCFC Phase-out

16. Page 16 Develop a comprehensive service sector profile (e.g. # of service enterprises & concentration, HCFC consumption per subsector, skill levels, servicing practices) Prioritisation of subsectors (low hanging fruits & high impact) Identifying all requirements for phase-out of HCFC in the servicing sector (awareness, training, equipment support) Assess scope for regulation and policy measures Layout of support structure (building on NCCoPP) Estimation of funding requirements for implementation Impact of the planned phase-out activities in ODP tonnes Develop monitoring and verification methodology Steps for Developing the Sector Strategy

17. Page 17 GTZ Proklima: Publication on options and implications of replacing HCFCs with natural refrigerants

18. Page 18 Main objective to highlight advantages and encourage consideration of natural refrigerants as replacements for R-22 Further objectives –To present legislative implications of accelerated HCFC phase-out, and related issues –Address possible natural alternatives –Introduce and means of overcoming main hurdles, e.g., safety –Provide technical assessments of options –Give examples and case studies of use of natural refrigerants in systems previously using R-22 OBJECTIVES of this publication
