4. Proklima: Mandate Start in 1996, mandated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Proklima advises governments of partner countries on drafting local regulations and setting policies that will comply with all international environmental agreements. Proklima assists companies in replacing ozone depleting technologies with environmentally friendly and economically attractive alternatives. Proklima ensures that promoted replacement technologies comply not only with the obligations under the Montreal Protocol but also with other international environmental agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol.

5. GTZ Proklima has implemented over 150 projects in more than 40 countries since 1996, with an overall volume of close to US$ 40 million. It is thus the biggest bilateral programme to be associated with the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol.

6. Role of bilateral agencies in CFC Phase-out

7. ECOFRIG (1992-2002) • 1992: ECOFRIG projectlaunched as an Indo-Swiss-German collaboration. • Goal: Contributing to a timely, self-reliant and sustainable phase-out of CFCs in the Indian domestic and commercial refrigeration sector. • Approach: Promotion of low GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant as replacement for CFC refrigerants. • 1st Phase: Application of low GWP cyclopentane foam technology as a replacement of CFC-12, avoiding the transitional HCFC-141b route. • 2nd Phase: Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd. Appliance Division converted to hydrocarbon blend refrigerant. The full size conversion project was implemented with support from the Multilateral Fund to the Montreal Protocol in 2001/2002). • Total investment by Switzerland and Germany: approx. 10 million USD (the industry contribution exceeded this investment).

8. HIDECOR (2001-2004) Human and Institutional Development in Ecological Refrigeration • 2001: HIDECOR projectlaunched as an Indo-Swiss collaboration. • Goal: Providing training on good servicing practices and hydrocarbon based retrofit to service technicians in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector. • Geographic focus: • Initial states: Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujrat, Delhi and West Bengal • States added later: Punjab, Haryana, U.P., Rajasthan and Kerala (in anticipation of NCCoPP).

9. NCCoPP (2004-2010) National CFC Consumption Phase-out Plan • 2004: NCCoPP projectlaunched based on the Agreement between India and the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund. • Goal: Providing training on good servicing practices and to service technicians in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector. • Geographic focus: All over India. • Funding: 6.3 million USD

10. Overall project management (Lead implementing agency), Co-financing of training, ESS facilitation and distribution, Role of Key Players / Implementing Agencies • Training component • Equipment support (ESS), Foam sector, Refrigeration (manufacturing) sector • Awareness component, Customs & Policy training component • Transport refrigeration sector

12. Access Routes

13. Improvement of Service Practices

14. 20,000+ technicians trained. Remote areas of the country accessed (60% programmes were outside the major cities). Knowledge about CFC Phase-out and Good Service Practices is now wide-spread amongst small firms in covered areas. Training infrastructure and methodology available for HCFC phase-out but we need to maintain the momentum. More than 1,000 E&C units, recovery machines etc. distributed EcoCool newsletter regularly distributed to 20,000+ technicians updating on new technological developments and good servicing practices Enforcement agencies and customs officers are aware of CFC phase-out Marjor Achievements of HIDECOR & NCCoPP

15. Relevance of Service Sector for HCFC Phase-out • Significant share of total HCFC consumption (>20%) • Probably more than 20,000 enterprises involved • Huge variety of applications • Most appliances serviced by technicians from informal sector after warranty period • Informal sector not covered by OEM training infrastructure • Sustainable phase-out needs to include service sector due to risk of reverse conversions

16. Develop a comprehensive service sector profile (e.g. # of service enterprises & concentration, HCFC consumption per subsector, skill levels, servicing practices) Prioritisation of subsectors (low hanging fruits & high impact) Identifying all requirements for phase-out of HCFC in the servicing sector (awareness, training, equipment support) Assess scope for regulation and policy measures Layout of support structure (building on NCCoPP) Estimation of funding requirements for implementation Impact of the planned phase-out activities in ODP tonnes Develop monitoring and verification methodology Steps for Developing the Sector Strategy

17. GTZ Proklima:Publication on options and implications of replacing HCFCs with natural refrigerants

18. Main objective to highlight advantages and encourage consideration of natural refrigerants as replacements for R-22 Further objectives To present legislative implications of accelerated HCFC phase-out, and related issues Address possible natural alternatives Introduce and means of overcoming main hurdles, e.g., safety Provide technical assessments of options Give examples and case studies of use of natural refrigerants in systems previously using R-22 OBJECTIVES of this publication
