  1. Blaise Horisberger, Federal Office for Environment, Switzerland Ozone Secretariat Workshop on HFC Management Paris, 11-12 July 2014 , Swiss policies and measures for the phase down of HFCs Swiss HFC emissions estimates based on air measurements in Jungfraujoch (3580 m)

  2. Swiss policies and measures for the phase down of HFCs Drivers to reduce the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases emissions at minimal marginal costs to promote the development and marketing of environmentally friendly technologies to support the industry in developing long term reliable strategies to discourage the development of new applications which would require future regulation to avoid potential regulatory loopholes (unregulated Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases) to promote the implementation of Life Cycle Climate Performance Approach To ban the use of Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases for applications for which other products or techniques are applicable and environmentally better based on the state of the art To allow, when recognised necessary, time limited essential use exemptions upon technically justified requests and based on the state of the art To request emission reduction measures for the allowed applications of Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases To consider voluntary commitments developed by industrial branches Key challenges mainly in RAC sector Domestic harmonization of some safety requirements Training of technicians for the handling of “natural” refrigerants Prejudice against applicability of “natural” refrigerants Cost of the alternatives (capital / operating) Availability of HFO 1234ze
