The document discusses sustainable cooling and the current and future trends regarding cooling technologies and their contribution to sustainable development goals. It outlines the phase-out of HCFCs and subsequent phase-in of HFCs in the EU. Strategies to prevent HFC emissions include leak prevention, end of life treatment, training, and banning certain uses. Alternatives to high global warming potential HFCs include natural refrigerants like carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrocarbons. Enabling activities involve monitoring and reporting HFC usage as well as updating safety standards for alternative refrigerants.
The document discusses illegal trade of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in the European Union and recommendations to strengthen enforcement of the EU F-Gas Regulation. It finds that over 16% of the EU's 2018 HFC quota was smuggled into the bloc, equivalent to 4 coal-fired power plants' worth of emissions. Common smuggling methods like mislabeling cylinders and using disposable cylinders are described. Weaknesses in customs enforcement like the lack of real-time quota data and exemptions for small shipments are also noted. The document recommends improving licensing, transparency, banning disposable cylinders, increasing penalties, and aligning the quota system with climate goals to curb illegal HFC trade and emissions.
The document discusses the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which adds a phase-down schedule for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It will enter into force in 2019 if ratified by 20 countries. Developing countries have different baseline years and phase-down schedules than developed countries. Countries will need to undertake enabling activities to prepare regulations, markets, and industry for the HFC phase-down. Surveys of developing countries found current use of HFC and other refrigerants is concentrated in air conditioning and refrigeration. Partnerships will be important to share expertise during this transition period.
The document discusses lessons learned from the EU's implementation of the F-Gas Regulation, which phases down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) according to four pillars: sectoral bans, an HFC phase-down schedule, competence requirements, and containment measures. Some key lessons include: ensuring containment and competence form the basis of measures; relying on cooperation, data, and communication; requiring excellent governance and flexibility; aligning different measures; anticipating changes to standards and codes; supporting recovery, recycling, and reuse of refrigerants; and addressing energy efficiency through separate legislation. Overall, the HVACR industry has an opportunity but responsibility to grow sustainably using available technologies while the HFC phase-down is one approach among

Informal sector role in the recyclable waste collection in bulgariaDr Lendy Spires
This document discusses Bulgaria's efforts to increase recycling and recovery of waste. It notes that Bulgaria has recycling and recovery targets set by the EU, but is challenged by a lack of waste management infrastructure and low rates of separate waste collection. Currently, informal waste pickers ("scavengers") collect a significant portion of recyclables from landfills and contribute over 60% of recycled paper and plastics, helping Bulgaria meet its targets. However, scavengers are controversial as they are sometimes accused of theft and unsanitary practices. The document concludes that Bulgaria needs a sustainable approach that engages all stakeholders, including scavengers.

A carbon audit measures and records an organization's carbon dioxide emissions. It is the first step in developing a carbon strategy to manage and reduce emissions over the long term. A carbon audit calculates both direct emissions from electricity and fuel usage as well as indirect emissions from employee travel, waste, and suppliers. Conducting carbon audits allows organizations to cut emissions, comply with regulations, and save on energy costs while improving their environmental impact and brand reputation.
The document discusses recent legal challenges before the ECHA Board of Appeal and new regulations regarding data sharing transparency. It summarizes cases related to substance evaluation and compliance checks. It also outlines the new Commission Implementing Regulation 2016/9 which establishes principles for data sharing agreements, including itemizing costs, record keeping requirements, and retroactivity. The document provides templates for calculating data costs, administrative expenses, and letter of access prices according to the new rules.
The document discusses pathways for the EU agriculture sector to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Agriculture currently accounts for 29.3% of EU greenhouse gas emissions and emissions from the sector are increasing. Reaching net-zero will require a combination of increased efficiency, greater carbon removals through practices like improved soil management, and reduced production of high-emission foods. Significant changes will be needed in production, consumption, technology, markets, and policy to transform the food system while avoiding external emissions impacts.
The document summarizes key facts about manufacturing in Wales, including that it represents 11% of the Welsh workforce and 15.8% of GDP. It notes manufacturing job losses have been less steep in Wales compared to the UK as a whole in recent years. Energy intensive industries are major emitters in Wales, representing around a quarter of total emissions. The document discusses the potential for industrial energy efficiency savings and decarbonization technologies to reduce emissions by 2050 according to UK government studies, but notes significant policy gaps remain to realize this potential.
This document provides an overview and tips for preparing for an enforcement authority visit regarding REACH regulations in the EU. It discusses the following key points:
1. Industry expects uniform, consistent, and transparent enforcement of REACH across the EU. Sanctions should distinguish between deliberate and accidental non-compliance.
2. The Cefic REACH Enforcement Group shares experiences from company inspections. Inspections are becoming more comprehensive and sometimes lack clarity on scope. Advance notice, relevant experts available, and feedback are most effective.
3. Authority advice includes preparing relevant documentation, clearly understanding obligations, and admitting what you don't know. International companies should appoint local representatives trained by a dedicated REACH team.

Presentation from the second panel of the World Circular Economy Forum 2021 Accelerator Session titled "Towards a mutually supportive trade and circular economy agenda"
The European F-gas Regulation 517/2014 aims to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases through two strategies: preventing leakage and emissions, and avoiding the use of F-gases. It defines rules around leakage prevention, training and certification requirements, bans on certain refrigerants, phase down of HFC supply quotas, and implications for the refrigeration and air conditioning sector. The regulation requires leak checks be based on refrigerant quantities in CO2-equivalent amounts and introduces bans on high-GWP refrigerants for certain applications from 2020 onward. It also establishes an HFC phase down schedule from 2015-2030 that will lower the maximum quantities available each year.
This document provides an overview of Canada's legislative and regulatory framework for phasing down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It outlines Canada's approach to controlling HFCs under the Montreal Protocol and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Key points include:
- Canada is implementing its obligations under the Kigali Amendment by gradually reducing HFC consumption levels according to a phase-down schedule from 2019 to 2036.
- The existing Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations were amended in 2018 to control HFCs through a consumption allowance system and product-specific prohibitions.
- Proposed amendments would permanently correct Canada's HFC consumption baseline and allow continued use of HCFC-123 in fire extingu

The document discusses the transition to more energy efficient and environmentally friendly HVACR systems. It notes that HVACR currently accounts for a large portion of global warming emissions and that regulations are changing to phase down the use of high-GWP refrigerants. The transition presents both challenges and opportunities for the industry, including new technology, training, and collaboration across sectors. Natural refrigerant-based systems offer benefits now and can help future-proof the industry against regulatory changes.

Marco Buoni suggested that ”each of the 28 EU Member States, with the help of their contractor’s association – of which almost all are represented within AREA – should firmly propose the extension of the certification of refrigeration technicians in fluorinated refrigerants, including specific modules on the use of alternative refrigerants. AREA has already prepared a scheme to propose to all the member states to guide them to a quick implementation”
This document discusses the proposed universal PFAS restriction under REACH. It provides an overview of the restriction proposal which would ban all PFAS with some limited exemptions. Case studies are presented on the use of PFAS in various sectors like renewable energy, medical, food, and automotive to highlight the broad applications and potential impacts. The Collaboration Platform is introduced which aims to engage stakeholders to better understand the restriction and its consequences through information exchange and data collection on alternatives and costs. Members are invited to join and participate in the public consultation process.
OECD Global Forum on the Environment dedicated to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Su...OECD Environment
PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a diverse group of chemicals that include PFCAs, PFOA, PFSAs, PFHxS, and thousands of others. These chemicals have been in commercial production since the 1950s and are now widely used in consumer and industrial applications. One characteristic of PFAS is their persistence in the environment, as they are extremely resistant to degradation. PFAS have emerged as contaminants of global concern because of their potential to accumulate in the human body and food chains.
On 12-13 February 2024, a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, industry, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and academics came together to discuss various topics related to PFAS. These topics covered areas such as country risk management approaches, innovation challenges for finding safer alternatives, effective risk communication strategies, monitoring techniques, waste management, and approaches to managing contamination.

The document discusses the European Commission's recent proposal for a new F-gas Regulation.
(1) It proposes phasing down the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in a series of steps to reduce emissions by 20-30% by 2030, which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 million tonnes.
(2) It also proposes new prohibitions on certain F-gas equipment and products, bans on unnecessary emissions, and certification requirements to promote alternatives.
(3) The proposal aims to show leadership in reducing emissions and spur innovation in alternative technologies internationally.
The document summarizes a presentation on cool technologies that do not use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), given at the XV European Conference in Milano, Italy. It discusses the ecological impacts of HFC use and outlines alternatives like natural refrigerants such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons. It provides examples of companies adopting HFC-free equipment for refrigeration and air conditioning and references a Greenpeace report documenting the availability and use of natural refrigerants globally. The presentation promotes transitioning away from HFCs by 2020 to avoid dangerous climate change impacts.

Hungary has established institutions, legal frameworks, decision-making bodies, and procedures to manage ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and fluorinated gases (F-Gases). Key aspects include a licensing system to phase out substances according to an established schedule, enforcement of bans and restrictions, mandatory reporting of data, and sanctions for non-compliance. Recovery, recycling, and reclamation of ODS from refrigeration and fire protection equipment is supported through industry organizations, funding mechanisms, and designated facilities. Legislation and measures have been adjusted over time to incorporate amendments to the Montreal Protocol and align with evolving European Union regulations.
The document discusses international agreements and regulations related to protecting the ozone layer and phasing out ozone depleting substances (ODS). It summarizes the Vienna Convention of 1985, which established a framework for reducing CFC production, and the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which set timelines for phasing out various ODS groups. The document also outlines India's role in these agreements and its national efforts to phase out ODS through various country programs and management plans. It notes challenges in transitioning to alternatives for the foam industry given technical and economic limitations.

This document discusses Indonesia's efforts to implement its commitments under the Montreal Protocol and Kigali Amendment to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It outlines Indonesia's HFC phase-down schedule under the Kigali Amendment and actions taken to develop standards and certify technicians to handle alternative refrigerants. It also expresses openness to strengthening implementation of climate agreements and including new HFC mitigation actions in Indonesia's next Nationally Determined Contribution.
The document discusses the European Commission's recommendation for an EU climate target for 2040:
- It recommends a 90% net greenhouse gas reduction target for 2040 compared to 1990 levels.
- This target was determined based on a detailed impact assessment and advice from the EU's climate advisory board.
- The 2040 target aims to put the EU on a pathway to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 in line with the European Climate Law.
- The recommendation for a 2040 target will inform discussions on the EU's next Nationally Determined Contribution to be submitted in 2025 under the Paris Agreement.
UNIDO has over 30 years of experience implementing Montreal Protocol projects to phase out ozone-depleting substances. It has implemented over 1,200 projects phasing out 70,287 ODP tonnes, assisting over 90 developing countries. UNIDO is now focusing on introducing low-GWP alternatives and promoting energy efficiency to further climate benefits. It aims to assess emission reductions from projects and focus on replacing HCFCs by 2015. UNIDO also plans pilot projects converting air conditioner production lines to use propane refrigerant to demonstrate related technologies and safety practices.

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.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

2. Climate
Action
The need for (further) EU action
• EU 2050 climate targets is to reduce GHG
emissions by 80-95% (1990-level)
• EU Low Carbon Economy Roadmap: non-CO2
emissions (non-agricultural) must decline by 72-
73% by 2030 and by 70-79% by 2050 (1990-level)
• EU F-gas emissions increased by 60% (1990-level)
• Suitable alternatives with low GWP are available
for most F-gas applications
• International HFC phase-down proposals under
the Montreal Protocol

• Avoid the use of F-gases
• Training and qualification
• Ban on new applications -> Art. 9
• Ban on uses -> Art. 11
• Phase-down of HFC supply -> Art. 13 ff.
5. Climate
Action
The legislative process
• 7 November 2012: Commission proposal to Council and European
Parliament
• 19 June 2013: Environment Committee of the EP adopts report
• 4 October 2013: Council (COREPER) mandates the Council
Presidency to enter into negotiations with the EP to reach first-
reading agreement
• 16 December 2013: Agreement reached after 4 informal trialogue
meetings
• 11 March 2014 (scheduled): Formal vote in EP
• 14 April 2014: Formal adoption by the Council
• Mai 2014: Publication and entry into force 21 days later
• 1 January 2015: Date of application of the new Regulation
6. Climate
Action
Containment measures
Operators must prevent leakage
Leakage checks, frequency depending on charge size
Detection systems for larger charges
Labelling of products and equipment, extended to foams
Proper recovery and recycling, reclamation or destruction
Training & certification of service personnel, including
information on alternatives
Applies to stationary refrigeration, air-conditioning, heat pumps,
fire protection systems, refrigerated trucks and trailers, organic
Rankine cycles and electrical switchgear with SF6
7. Climate
Action
HFC phase-down – the main novelty
HFC bulk placed on the EU market
Schedule: freeze 2015, first step 2016, reduction of HFC
supply by 79% in 2030 (in CO2 equivalent)
Baseline: reported 2009-2012
Quota allocation based on historical sales and new entrants
reserve
Monitoring: Independently verified reports
9. Climate
Action
HFCs in pre-charged equipment
Of the EU HFC demand, 11% is imported in pre-filled
equipment, rising to 18% in 2030
If not addressed, risk of circumvention of the phase-
down!
Solution: Obligation to ensure that all HFCs quantities filled in
equipment are "accounted for" under the EU phase-down
• Filling in the EU, or
• outside the EU, with HFCs bought in the EU, or
• from a non-EU HFC producer with own EU quota, or
• authorisation to use quota from a quota holder
Verification through declarations of conformity and audited reports
9
10. Climate
Action
Bans and their context
1. Addressing non-HFCs and by-production
• Use bans for SF6 in magnesium production
• Recovery of HFC-23 by-production
2. Steering the HFC phase-down
• Ban to service existing equipment with high GWP HFCs,
• Additional placing on the market bans for new equipment
Guiding principles:
• Existing equipment should not become obsolete
• Bans only when alternatives are available (= safe, energy
efficient, economically viable) 10
11. Climate
Action
Ban on servicing with high GWP HFCs
1. Applies as of 2020
2. Large refrigeration equipment
• Above 40 KW cooling capacity
• Excluding equipment for temperatures below –50o
C
3. HFCs above GWP 2500
• Mainly R-404a
4. Recycled HFCs can be used until 2030

12. Climate
Action
Additional placing on the market bans
• Extension of the ban on PFCs in fire protection
systems/extinguishers to HFC-23
• Domestic refrigerators and freezers with HFCs
GWP >=150 (2015)
• Refrigerators and freezers for commercial use
(hermetically sealed systems) with HFCs

• Foams blown containing HFCs with GWP >= 150
(unless required by national safety standards)
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) – (2020)
Other foams – (2023)
• Technical aerosols, HFCs with GWP >= 150, unless
required by national safety standards) - 2018
15. Climate
Action
The international context
The new EU F-gas Regulation demonstrates that
ambitious measures on F-gases are feasible
Increasing interest and demand for alternatives
to HFCs are likely to trigger innovation and
economies of scale also in other markets
The agreement will result in a more active role of
the EU in the negotiations on an HFC amendment
under the Montreal Protocol
16. Climate
Action
The international context
A2 countries will need to come up with steps of a
similar level of ambition as the new EU
Regulation
Consideration of elements that would need to be
changed for A5 countries in order to improve
acceptance of international negotiations:
o Focus on maximizing climate benefits of the HCFC
phase-out
o Collection of data on HFCs before discussing measures
specifically targeting these substances
