The plans of major HCFC consuming countries, like China and Mexico, for addressing the gradual phase-out of these substances were discussed during the “UNIDO ATMOsphere Technology Summit - Natural Solutions for Developing Countries”. Future priorities and projects with natural substances that would avoid over-flooding the market with HFCs were talked about, and insights on EU actions to deal with the massive phase-in of climate warming substances were presented.
“There are some companies that are doing this by themselves because of the cost. Because they have to reduce the cost of energy and they can do this with R290”. Regarding Mexico’s future activities for achieving the 60% phase-out target in 2020, Mr Guevara said, ”the good news is that maybe we could insert some conversions of air conditioning equipment to hydrocarbons […] so we can do some pilot projects to advance in this sector.”
