Haiti - Environment : Launching of HCFC Phase-out Management Plans 09/07/2013 11:55:20
HCFCs, including HCFC-22, are refrigerant (coolant) used in residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning. These are very important products among others : for the conservation of perishable goods, the proper functioning of operating rooms, of supermarkets, telecommunications systems and information... These products so important they are, must be eliminated by 2030 because of their destructive impact on the ozone layer and global warming, as was decided by the 197 States Parties to the Montreal Protocol, whose Haiti is signatory. The challenge today, concerns the use of substitutes, free of negative effect on the ozone layer, devoid of global warming potential and with energy efficiency, conditions necessary for the acceleration of the recovery of the ozone layer. Haiti will begin phasing out HCFCs by 2015, with the entry into force of a quota reduction of 10%. How to reduce dependence on these products? How to reconcile the commitments and economic development? To what extent our refrigeration technicians can help reduce the costs inherent to change? Are some of the questions that will be addressed in the HCFC Phase-out Management Plans, which was designed to prepare a coordinated national response. This workshop aims to define the "Cold Policy" in Haiti by 2030 and establish a governance framework specific to a proactive approach of emerging issues. HL/ HaitiLibre
