The document discusses refrigerants in the European and international contexts. It notes that refrigeration needs are increasing globally due to population growth and development, but refrigeration also represents a major source of energy consumption. International discussions aim to phase down HFC refrigerants due to their impact on global warming. In Europe, the F-gas Regulation aims to reduce HFC emissions, and its revision may lead to more restrictive measures such as earlier phase-outs of high-GWP refrigerants.
The document discusses the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR), an intergovernmental organization that promotes knowledge about refrigeration. It has 60 member countries and provides tools like a database of refrigeration articles, periodicals, books, standards, conferences, and statements on international agreements. The IIR addresses key issues like reducing greenhouse gas emissions through solutions like lowering refrigerant charges and leaks, using low-GWP refrigerants, and cutting energy use. Regulations are also evolving, like the F-Gas regulation in Europe and potential HFC phase-downs under the Montreal Protocol.

Daikin presented its view on next generation refrigerants. [1] R32 is seen as the most balanced alternative currently, as it has superior energy efficiency and a smaller global warming impact compared to R410A, while having acceptable flammability. [2] However, restrictions on use of flammable refrigerants mean R410A is still needed for high efficiency systems. [3] Daikin advocates considering other impacts beyond just GWP, and that there is no single solution - the choice depends on the specific application.

The 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan's port city of Kobe was caused by the subduction of the Philippines Plate under the Eurasian Plate. Measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale, it resulted in over 5,000 deaths due to its shallow focus and proximity to densely populated Kobe. Primary effects included the collapse of an elevated highway and damage to ports and buildings. Secondary effects involved widespread fires from gas lines and power outages leaving millions without power or water. Short term responses involved search and rescue, medical aid, shelters and restoring utilities. Long term responses included rebuilding infrastructure, new building regulations, and counseling for earthquake trauma.

ABSTRACT
There is no question that big data has hit the business, government and scientific sectors. The demand for skills in data science is unprecedented in sectors where value, competitiveness and efficiency are driven by data. However, there is plenty of misleading hype around the terms big data and data science. This presentation gives a professional statistician's view on these terms and illustrates the connection between data science and statistics.

The document discusses the challenges for refrigerants currently and in the future. It notes that the F-Gas regulation is strongly influencing the refrigeration market through a phase down of average GWP levels and bans on some HFCs for certain sectors. By 2030, the average GWP will need to be reduced to 800. This will require the use of natural refrigerants like CO2, ammonia, and hydrocarbons as shorter term HFC replacements may not be available or the situation could become chaotic. CO2 transcritical systems are presented as a long term solution for supermarkets.

2) While there are over 40 training centers in the EU that offer training on alternative refrigerants, training availability and facilities are uneven across Europe.
3) AREA has developed guidelines on minimum training requirements for contractors and equipment handling low global warming potential refrigerants to help with the transition.
XVII CONVEGNO EUROPEO T. Gabiel - EU F-GAS REGULATION: PERSPECTIVESCentro Studi Galileo
The document summarizes the EU F-Gas Regulation and its implications. It notes that the EU regulation will lead to significant reductions in HFCs by 37% in 2018, 55% in 2021, and 69% in 2024. This is more ambitious than reductions under the Kigali Amendment. The reductions are even larger than they appear because baseline exclusions and exemptions mean actual reductions will be 48% in 2018 and 64% in 2021. Early effects include HFC stockpiling, price increases, and risks of illegal trade and material shortages. The regulation provides an opportunity for European green technologies to be mainstreamed globally through the Montreal Protocol HCFC phase-out.
XVII CONVEGNO EUROPEO A. Kaschl - IMPLEMENTING THE EU PHASE DOWNCentro Studi Galileo
The document summarizes the EU's phase-down of F-gases, or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), under the F-gas Regulation to reduce emissions. It outlines that the regulation establishes an upstream quota system to reduce HFC imports and production in the EU by 80% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline. Companies must register and report HFC quantities and are issued annual quotas to place HFCs on the EU market. The goals of the phase-down are to stimulate innovation, support climate policy, and facilitate convergence with the Montreal Protocol, while emissions and consumption are already falling under the regulation.
The document summarizes the topics that will be covered during presentations at the Latest Technologies in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning conference in Milan on June 9-10, 2017. The three topics are: 1) how to apply F-gas regulations and ongoing actions to reduce gases, 2) challenges and solutions for cold chains internationally from political and technical perspectives, and 3) opportunities for renewable energy in cooling due to regulations and new technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning.

1. Refrigerants:
European and International Contexts
MILANO, Italy
Mostra Convegno Expocomfort
International
Institute of 30 marzo 2012
Refrigeration
Didier COULOMB
International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR)
www.iifiir.org
2. 1 - Refrigeration is everywhere
• Cryogenics (petrochemical refining, steel industry, space industry,
nuclear fusion…)
• Medicine and health products (cryosurgery, anaesthesia, scanners,
vaccines…)
• Air conditioning (including data centres…)
• Food industry and the cold chain
• Energy sector (including heat pumps, LNG, hydrogen…)
• Environment (including carbon capture and storage), public works,
leisure activities…
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
3. 2 - The increasing needs in developing and emerging countries
1600 deaths/year in the USA due to pathogens, at least partly
associated with temperature control; many more in « developing »
countries:
• Increase in the global population, particularly in Africa and South Asia
(9-10 billion in 2050, 8 in developing countries)
• 70% (50% now) will be in urban areas (x2 in developing countries):
increasing the need for cold chains, increasingly westernized models
• 1 billion people are undernourished; 23% of food losses are caused by
a lack of refrigeration (vs 9% in developed countries)
• Needs for better health everywhere (good cold chain, air conditioning),
ageing population…
This increase in emerging and developing countries will increase the
impact on the environment
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
4. 3 - Refrigeration is a major energy consumer
Refrigeration including air conditioning represents 15% of global
electricity consumption. And it will increase (The Netherlands: 18%...)
Global warming because of CO2 emissions:
TEWI, LCCP (IIR Working Party)
The price of electricity will increase (new sources of energy
have higher costs)
Lack of power infrastructures
Overall system solutions (district cooling…)
New regulations on energy, on buildings in Europe, the USA:
constraints on energy constraints on refrigeration systems
Changing a system because of refrigerant issues must take into
account potential reductions in energy consumption
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
5. 4 – Focus on Refrigerants
• Vapour-compression systems will remain predominant in the short
and medium term more refrigerants.
• Impact on the stratospheric ozone layer:
CFCs, HCFCs the Montreal Protocol
Phase-out plans
Banks
• Alternative refrigerants:
- HFCs, including HFOs: no impact on the ozone layer but an impact
on global warming (included in the Kyoto Protocol)
- Natural refrigerants (ammonia, CO2, hydrocarbons, water, air):
have a very low impact on global warming.
- Mixtures, combinations (cascades, secondary fluids)
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
7. Discussions at an international level
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
8. Hence, discussions held at an international level (Montreal Protocol and
Kyoto Protocol meetings) on the future of HFCs: replacing HCFCs with
HFCs could be a real threat to climate.
North American and Mauritius-Micronesia proposals to gradually phase
down the consumption and production of HFCs, in all countries. The
amounts are weighted according to their Global Warming Potential.
• Opposition of India, China, Brazil
• Other initiatives:
The European F-gas regulation and the MAC directive
Taxes and bans on HFCs
This decision is linked to other decisions regarding global warming
(time schedule: 2015 for a new agreement on this issue)
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
9. 5 – Consequences at the European level
The European Union: an example for the world regarding Global Warming?
(compliance with the Kyoto Protocol; attitude in international negotiations)
• 1st mesure: reducing leakage the F-gas regulation
and more (?)
• 2nd mesure: phase-out of high GWP refrigerants
the MAC directive
and more (?)
• 3rd mesure: taxes and bans in certain European countries
then at a European level (?)
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
10. At a European level:
1. HCFC phase-out
1.1.2010: phase-out of virgin HCFCs in Europe
1.1.2015: phase-out of recycled HCFCs in Europe
2. The F-gas Regulation: current status
- Adopted in 2006, entered into force on 4.7.2007 with a view to reducing
emissions of fluorinated gases (HFCs, PFCs, SF6);
revision scheduled in 2010
- The aim: to train staff and certify staff and companies handling
refrigerants, to reduce leakage in stationary equipment, considered as
being of greatest importance.
A Directive on mobile air conditioning completes the F-gas Regulation and
embodies gradual phase-out of refrigerants with a GWP >150
- Many countries have implemented rules that are more stringent than the
F-gas Regulation and the Directive on mobile air conditioning
- Few countries didn’t set up national per-application regulations.
Italy just did it.
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
11. - More restrictive measures concern: the threshold governing the
application of the regulation, with a value lower than the charge of
3 kg of refrigerant; implementation of maximum leakage rates (5%)
in Germany, Belgium…; minimum intervals between maintenance
operations; databases; responsibilities with respect to recycling;
moreover, Germany has extended compulsory leakage monitoring to
refrigerated transport for charges of over 3 kg and Sweden has
extended its policy to ships (charges of over 10 kg).
- Moreover, several countries have implemented high taxes on HFCs.
3. The revision process
Began 1 year and a half ago
- A group of experts involving the IIR and consultants was set
up in October 2010 in order to assist the European
Commission.
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
12. - In parallel, stances, in particular those of Eurovent, AREA and
EPEE, designed to strengthen the binding nature of the regulation.
In particular, AREA recommends the extension of the regulation
to refrigerated transport and advocates reducing the threshold
from 3 kg to 100 g.
- A Commission report was placed on line with a view to obtaining
comments before December 19, 2011. The IIR sent comments.
Aim: to develop a draft decision during the first half of 2012 prior
to examination by the European Parliament
Followed by a decision in 2013?
Options put forward by the consultants:
A per-sector approach to be implemented over the period spanning
2015 to 2030, depending on the importance of the stakeholders and
the potential solutions.
Banning of fluorinated gases in certain applications
(cf. The MAC Directive).
Taxation systems or deposit.
No conclusions so far.
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
13. CONCLUSION (1)
Actions in HFCs = « easy » way to rapidly reduce greenhouse-gas
emissions, which explains part of the pressure by USA, UNEP, NGOs
Industrial interests industrial lobbying
The European Union would like to be a model and
anticipate possible international decisions
Very probably, as soon as international decisions on global warming can
be taken (2015?), a phase down schedule of HFCs would be decided.
Until then, strengthening the F-gas regulation would be the minimum
the European Union could impose.
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
14. CONCLUSION (2)
In order to know:
What will the future be in terms of regulations;
What kind of solutions exist (new technologies, new refrigerants…)
What are the constraints? What are the costs?..Etc.
Regularly updated information is required.
International Institute of Refrigeration – www.iifiir.org
