--For greening refrigerator and room air
conditioner industry in China
CFCs and HCFCs used
CFCs and HCFCs have been broadly used as
refrigerant and foaming agent in Refrigerator and
Room air conditioner products
• CFC-11 (foaming agent) and CFC-12 (refrigerant) used in
refrigerator sector in China
• HCFC-22 (refrigerant) used in Room air conditioner in China
What happened
Refrigerator and Room air conditioner sector
were rapidly developed since 1980’s in China
Historic production of
refrigerators in China (10k units)
The CFCs peak consumption are about 10,000 tones/year
during 1995 – 2002, new consumption is zero since 2008

ODS and GHGs
With scientific confirmation, while CFCs and
HCFCs consumed, the man-made chemicals and
human activities are having a significant adverse
impact on the ozone layer and the global climate.
What impacted
A number of commonly used chemicals have
been found to be extremely damaging to the
ozone layer which including the chemicals used in
refrigerator and room air conditioner products.
The linkage between Climate
change and Ozone layer depleting
Some Fgases are

China: Impact on GEP (history)
• LOW (China’s CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion
were 79 Mt in 1950, contributing only 1.13% of the world
total at that time; cumulative emissions of CO2 from fossil
fuel combustion accounted for only 9.33% of the world
total during the period of 1950~2002, and the cumulative
CO2 emissions per capita are 61.7 tons over the same
period, ranking the 92nd in the world.)
Ozone layer depleting:
• LOW (less than 1% of the total emissions) before 1995;
What impacted
Climate change:
China: Impact on GEP (current)
Climate change:
large country for
total emission (6.1
billion ton CO2e)
Ozone layer
depleting: the
largest country on
production and
consumption of
HCFCs
What impacted
a largest and fast developing but
not developed
How to solve the global
environmental problems (GEP)
• Treaty
• Convention
• Agreement
• Protocol
• exchange of notes
• declaration
What done
Nowadays, ozone depletion and climate
change have been at the forefront of the
international community’s environmental
agenda
The bases and principles for the
cooperation
Common but differentiated responsibilities: the respective
capabilities of developed and developing countries, as well as the
common but differentiated responsibilities of States as set forth
in Principle 7 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development.
What done
That States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United
Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign
right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own
environmental and developmental policies, and the responsibility
to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not
cause damage to the environment of other states or of areas
beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.
How China working together with the world
for solving the GEP (climate change and
ozone layer protection)
Vienna Convention/Montreal
Protocol (1989/1991)
UNFCCC/Kyoto Protocol (1993/2002)
What done
China signed / ratified:
Ozone layer protection in China
Country Program for Phaseout of Ozone Depleting
Substances (CP) which the government approved in
January 1993 and updated in November 1999
Copenhagen Amendment (2004)
Adjustment MP (2007)
What done
Vienna Convention/Montreal Protocol (1989/1991)
ODS Phaseout approach
• Project - Sector Plan – Country Plan

What contributed
What are China’s contributions with other
developing countries in 2007 during MP parties
meeting?
Currently , UNIDO is helping China
to develop HPMP in RAC sector;
• Invite experts to introduce suitable
alternatives
• Joint data survey
• Joint design phaseout strategy
What do in future
What do in future
- RAC sector as an example
Dual environmental benefits of ozone
layer protection and climate change
China will phase out about 70,000 tons
HCFC-22 (3,850 tons ODP) in this sector
concomitant with reducing 2,100 tons
HFC-23 (25 million ton CO2e) per year;
What do in future
In the future, implementation of adopted
HPMP will gain the dual environmental
benefits of ozone layer protection and
climate change;
Potential environmental benefit
Assuming HC as
alternative, then,
•HC, HFCs and others are
the potential substitutes;
• By 2030, estimation of
environmental benefits
of phasing out HCFC-22
for RAC sector will be:
avoided 409 mtCO2-eq
emission directly and
20568×108 kw-hr
energy saving which
avoided 1810 mtCO2-eq
emission.
What do in future
China is searching
alternatives for HCFCs;
The joint efforts contribute to
green not only the Chinese
industry, but also let Chinese
industry provide the world
green industrial products for the
global sustainable development.
What do in future
As one of the largest sector, the
RAC sector has high potential to
introduce more green products
which would contribute to the
environment via zero ODP, low
GWP and high energy efficiency.
Thank you!
