increased by 0.99 Deg C
It is expected to continue this

Key Environment Concerns
3. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important heat-
trapping (greenhouse) gas, which is released
through human activities such as
deforestation and burning fossil fuels, as well
as natural processes such as respiration and
volcanic eruptions
Since 2005 Co2 levels has been increased
from 378.21 ppm to 406.69 PPM in 2017

Changes are Coming
• HFCs will be phased down
Drivers:
Montreal Protocol Amendment and coming
phase-down framework
EPA SNAP Program / Climate Action Plan
F-gas regulations in Europe
Canada HFC activities
California HFC proposals
Kigali HFC Proposals
High GWP HFCs will be phased down as per the decided and agreed timeline
5. HCFC Phase out and HFC phase down - India
Under HPMP Program, HCFC22, or R22, is one of main stream refrigerants for air
conditioners. R22 must be phased out due to its ODP and converted to substances with
zero ODP. Likewise Under HFC phase down Program, R410A has also to be phased down,
High GWP HFC (Ex R410A) Phase down in Developing
Country
Therefore When making choice for alternative to R22 & R410A,various aspects must be
taken into account. (See Next slide for details)

R32 30-100
(From DuPont June 2010
AIChE article report)
With static electricity or electronic
lighters (energy: several mJ),
minimum ignition energy is not
attained
It implies the lack of chances combustion in ordinary working
condition of human being because of oxygen deficiency

Daikin’s Policy
16. Daikin Patent Policy
•The air conditioners manufactured in India can be sold in India or can be exported to any
countries
•Manufacturer can FREELY buy R32 from open market (Indian supplier or from abroad).
•Manufacturer can FREELY buy required materials, parts etc from open market in India or
abroad. It is not binding to buy such materials or parts from any affiliates/ subsidiaries of
DIL.
•DIL has developed 2 number of Improvement Patents registered in India which shall be
available only on FEE basis but the patents correspond to very special technical features
and DIL itself does not use the technology.
31http://www.daikin.com/press/2015/150910/index.htmlPress Release – 10th
September, 2015
•On 10 September 2015 , Daikin announced it is offering worldwide free access to 93
patents for the use of HFC-32 in air conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration equipment
•Already in 2011, Daikin had offered these patents to industries in emerging markets who
wanted to accelerate their phase-out of ozone-depleting refrigerants.
•Given the urgent need to address climate change, Daikin believes that it is the right time
to extend free access to these 93 HFC-32 equipment patents to manufacturers
worldwide
