Description of the project:
Initiated by the detection of the so called “ozone hole” over the Antarctic, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer came into force in 1987. The Protocol regulates the phase-out of production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in refrigeration and air conditioning. This phase-out has led to the introduction of new, environmental-friendly technologies in industrialized countries.
This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). It is the first global project on ODS waste management dedicated to the development and implementation of integrated strategies for reducing the emissions of Ozone-depleting substances containing waste.
projet entre dans le cadre de l’Initiative Internationale pour le Climat (IKI) du ministère fédéral de l’Environnement, de la Protection de la nature, de la Construction et de la Sûreté nucléaire (BMUB). Le projet vise à créer un cadre politique pour la mise en place de systèmes de gestion des stocks nationaux de SAO et de coopération technologique dans les pays partenaires.
Proklima is a programme of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It started in 1995 to support the implementation of the Montreal Protocol and also other international conventions and initiatives in the field of ozone layer and climate protection (e.g. Kyoto Protocol) in developing countries.
Este proyecto forma parte de la Iniciativa Internacional del Clima (IKI) del Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente, Conservación de la Naturaleza, Construcción y Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB).El proyecto tiene como objetivo establecer las condiciones políticas marco para la creación de la gestión nacional de bancos de SAO, así como la cooperación tecnológica en los países cooperantes.
Currently, all supermarket refrigeration systems in Southern Africa operate on fluorinated refrigerants with high ozone-depleting and/or global warming potentials. Modern, environmentally friendlier technology based on natural refrigerants is still completely unknown there and is seen with some concern. Most equipment owners, refrigeration engineers and service technicians have been reluctant to discuss these technologies due to potential safety issues.
