HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan - Stage 2
summary
As a party to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, Georgia aims at an overall reduction of the most harmful ozone-depleting substances - Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) by 67.5% and 97.5% in 2025 and 2030 respectively.
what we do
With funds from the Multi-Lateral Fund to the Montreal Protocol, UNDP continues assistance to Georgia in fulfilling the Montreal Protocol schedule in phasing out HCFCs. Building on the achievements of the previous phase, the current initiative focuses on three strategic areas:
- Control over supply, demand and emissions/releases of HCFCs
- Collection, recovery, recycling and reclamation of HCFCs, including from end-of-life refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) equipment
- Natural refrigerants/low Global Warming Potential (GWP) including fiscal incentives and revising the national legislation related to the consumption of harmful substances.
Activities
- Addressing flaws in the legal, regulatory, and procedural framework
- Skills and knowledge development to ensure the Reduce Reuse Recycle (RRR) network, environmental inspectors, technicians, and customs officers have the necessary capacity
- Implementing demonstration projects to introduce RAC operators and technicians to technologies based on natural/alternative refrigerants with low GWP impacts and encourage their use in the domestic market
- Supporting good servicing practices in the refrigeration sector
