INFRAS | 11 May 2007 | CDM METHODOLOGY FOR HYDROCARBON-BASED REFRIGERATION | INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

The entry proposal developing a “CDM methodology for hydrocarbon-based refrigeration”

had been accepted in a joint meeting between UNIDO and seco on February 8th 2007. The

concept note developed subsequently (dated 20th February 2007) on basis of the entry pro-

posal suggested to approach the HYREF methodology development in steps:

1. Step 1 consists of a short (1–2 months) feasibility phase to define the institutional

design of the methodology project and to develop the TORs for the different service provid-

ers such as the partners on Govt side, IIT Delhi (research partner for energy efficiency and

policy advise) and the nodal international and national service providers (e.g. TERI). Based

on clear roles, the cooperation implementation modalities for developing a HYREF CDM

methodology under a UNIDO main phase mandate shall be specified. These implementation

modalities depend on the route chosen for methodology development (via the EB Tool “ad-

ditonality and baseline” or through “sector benchmark”?). There are implications for Godrej

and Boyce M. Ltd as project proponent depending on option favoured for methodology de-

sign. The chances for winning the Bureau of Energy Efficiency or the Confederation for

Indian Industries CII as a “PoA entity” seem better with the more demanding benchmark

approach. The benchmark approach would be a step forward in establishing a level playing

field in the appliance market.

Hence a round of stakeholder consultations (in which present Swiss/NCCoPP partners shall

be involved) is considered an essential part of the feasibility mission. The institutional de-

sign needs to be finalized prior to being in a position to allocate clear cut roles to partners

and set out steps of the methodology development. The feasibility report shall provide sup-

plemental implementation modalities for the main phase UNIDO contracts.

2. Step 2 main phase: main phase shall be structured into “before” (Mai–July 2007)

and “after” (August–December 2007) submission of the HYREF methodology to Meth

Panel (defining targeted submission date is part of the feasibility mission . The institutional

architecture requires a “consortium” of service providers under different UNIDO contracts.

The methodology shall be submitted through a Designated Operational Entity (to be con-

tracted by UNIDO or the leading service provider) possibly by July 2007 and subsequently

walked through the comments by the Meth Panel.

2. TASK (JOB DESCRIPTION 27.2.2007) Othmar Schwank acting as the CDM Methodologies Expert will assess the feasibility of

preparing a CDM methodology for hydrocarbon-based refrigeration. Specifically, this will

require him to:

• To assess required stakeholder support, feasibility of schedule and cost.

4|

INFRAS | 11 May 2007 | CDM METHODOLOGY FOR HYDROCARBON-BASED REFRIGERATION | RESULTS OF THE CONSULTATIONS

• To clarify data availability and accessibility, and the consistency of available data

with the necessary standards.

• To clarify in particular the institutional architecture of the methodology develop-

ment process.

• To define the sequence of tasks and the related schedule for this subproject with

milestones.

3. RESULTS OF THE CONSULTATIONS 3.1. CONSULTATIONS 9.3. TO 15.03.2007

During the mission of Stefan Kessler to India consultations took place in Delhi

(9./10.3.) with Axel Michalewa, GTZ (Pamposh Bhat) and Christoph Sutter (home based by

Othmar Schwank). The outcome of the first round of consultations had been summarized for

the briefing meeting with UNIDO in Delhi as follows:

• Do not put manufacturing and retrofitting of refrigerators into same methodol-

ogy

• For Methodology submission to Meth Panel we do not yet need the data of the

baselines, the numbers in the attached PDD can be indicative -> However the

described baseline has to be feasible once get through with method

• PoA (Programme of Activities) may not be required for refrigerator manufactur-

ing, as there are only 5-10 main players (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Videocon,

Godrej plus importing from China); PoA would be required for CDM method in

retrofit (>200 players)

• Way forward is complex, as Meth Panels views on PoA and benchmark have

not stabilized yet

From this we conclude for the process

• Do a method for fridge manufacturing (energy and refrigerant benefits) first

(early July) and assess retrofitting of old refrigerators (refrigerant only) as an

option in a second round (assessment up to approx September/October 2007)

• It is sufficient if data gaps with regard to energy of refrigerator population are

filled from July onwards (e.g. Mandate Prof Agarwal IITD, Industry Partners,

others – to be decided in main phase mission by Stefan Kessler/Christoph Sut-

ter)

• Complexity too high for bidding, as main phase tasks are still not stable for af-

ter this feasibility phase. Mainphase contains two steps:

|5


A) building HYREF CDM methodology and submission through DOE

B) Building benchmark/baseline along with PDD of project proponent

• -> Hypothesis: It seems preferable to go for reimbursable loan contracts (2x

20’000 $ fee ceiling) for a next phase for Stefan Kessler (infras), Christoph Sut-

ter (Southpolecarbon) and for up to 20’000EUR the local service provider (short

list call for proposals TERI and 2 others)

3.2. FINDINGS DURING MISSION (20.3.2007) List of interview partners comprised:

• Ajay Mathur and Ali Kaupp BEE;

• Mr. A.K. Asthana, Director or Mr Kalathyiyappan, Deputy Director

National Cleaner Production Centre

• Prof. R.S. Agarwal IITD, NCCoPP training partners (SGTB), Jaspal Singh,

HRS (trader for refrigerants and parts for service enterprises), Whirlpool

• Service Providers: TERI (Girish Sethi, Prosanto Pal, Jain), Zenith, Winrock in

process

Findings from stakeholder consultations

• Contract modalities: As per mail exchange Philippe Scholtès – Heinz Leuenberger pro-

ceeding with a sequence of reimbursable loan agreements is the preferred approach

• Discussion with Ned Clarence Smith and Heinz Leuenberger (UNIDO Vienna) con-

firmed this approach

• The Bureau of Energy Efficiency welcomes development of the proposed methodology

and furnishes the Expert with the energy efficiency standards for domestic refrigerators

entering in force by 1st April 2007.

• An out come of consultations during the UNIDO CDM/energy efficiency in Vienna 19th

March and consultations with Christoph Sutter is that besides the BEE standards field

verification of the energy consumption by isobutene refrigerators and a control group

will have to be done.

• Additional data on number of fielded no frost and direct cooled models were obtained

from Godrej (project proponent)

Findings on additionality:

• Since January HFC134a refrigerant price has fallen from 450-500 Rs/kg to 310-

370Rs/kg. HC blend, Icon HFC blend (DuPont) and CFC12 stay around 580-

6|


620 Rs/kg. This price drop of HFC134a makes demonstration of additionality

easier to be demonstrated.

• Given the unorganized nature of the Indian service sector this aggravates the

barrier situation for introducing isobuthan and preventing service sector enter-

prise just to HFC134a (or the traders selling refrigerant which actually contains

HFC134a).

Role for NCPC

• In mainphase phase 1b and 2 (July 2007– March 2008) servicing of old existing

appliances shall be assessed from a 2 pronged viewpoint: Look beyond refrig-

erators, target also food processing?

a) feasilility of CDM method “retrofit”

b) Scope for cleaner production initiative carrying best practices beyond 2010

when NCCoPP terminates -> link to South South cooperation?

Findings on CDM methodology development:

The findings regarding methodology design are summarised in Table 1.

ANNEX 2 HYREF-CDM: METHODOLOGY FOR HYDROCARBON-BASED DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION CONCEPT NOTE UPDATED

4th

/ 18th

April 2007

1. Background, Justification

The CDM National Strategy Study India was completed in March 2005. Since 2006, the

SECO/UNIDO Cleaner Technology Project has worked further on selected CDM case studies,

developing PDDs, particular in energy efficiency for the small scale industry sector. Since 2005,

the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC/DEZA) pursued the dissemination of

energy efficiency technologies under CoSmile through TERI. The results were recently discussed

in a round table discussion at the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit in which UNIDO also

participated. UNIDO will launch a Centre for South-South Technology cooperation in New Delhi

in mid February 2007.

SECO and the SCO–I Delhi had invited Swiss Cooperation Partners and the World Bank to a

brainstorming meeting on CDM development on Nov 6, 2006. This meeting concluded that CDM

could play an important role in the Swiss Cooperation Programme with India, and in the near

future efforts shall be directed to explore synergies as outlined in Figure 1.

The SECO CT/CP as well as the SDC energy – environment programme (CoSmile) focussed so

far on energy efficiency in small scale industry, which requires bundling for making projects

CDMable. Establishing a bundling organisation as well as a bundling methodology typically re-

quires a time of 9–18 months. Developing CDM methodologies for the small scale industry clusters

12|


(such as for foundries/glass), are hence a complex exercise involving a larger number of stake-

holders. They may typically reach the stage for closing carbon finance deals not before the sec-

ond half of 20083.

SDC and GTZ, under the ECOFRIG project, cooperated since the early 1990ies with the Min. of

Environment of Forests to promote the transfer of the climate and ozone friendly hydro carbon

technology to Indian enterprises (refer to Annex 2). In 1999–2001, a case study into the CDM

potential of hydrocarbon refrigeration was conducted (Schwank 2001)4. The climate impact of

the ECOFRIG/HIDECOR/ NCCoPP5 projects was estimated in 2006 within the framework of the

SDC-CoSmile Project to compare the greenhouse gas emission reductions (HFCs expressed in

tCO2eq) with the energy efficiency gains of the disseminated CoSMILE technologies presented

at a side event of the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS6) on 24th January. The es-

timation of the actual GHG abated by ECOFRIG/HIDECOR/ NCCoPP in 2005/06 results fell into

the same range of 30’000 tCO2eq7 shown by foundries or vertical shaft brick kilns. The largest

part of the actual emission abatement with hydrocarbon based refrigeration technology takes

place at small scale service enterprises. In the proposed CDM activity, these enterprises are asso-

ciated to Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Ltd., India as a possible CDM project proponent. The existing

business relations as well as the distribution/marketing channels under the service brand “Smart-

care” are in place, without the need to set up a new organisation. Hence hydrocarbon based re-

frigeration (HYREF8) has lower risks regarding “bundling”. It offers the chance to apply the new

“Programme of Activities” approach to methodology development which adds to the institutional

complexity (requirement of a “PoA entity” which could possibly be taken up by the Confedera-

tion of Indian Industry CII or the Bureau of Energy Efficiency BEE). If a methodology were to

materialise by late 2007/early 2008, it might attract a Swiss Buyer (e.g. Swiss Climate Cent

Foundation).

On January 8, 2007, a CT/CP meeting between SECO and the International Reference Centre

(IRC) took note of these developments and advised the IRC (INFRAS) to develop a proposal cum

TORs for HYREF CDM methodology development. The HYREF methodology proposal based

on pre-feasibility consultation made by Othmar Schwank in India 16–24th January 2007 with

3 On occasion of a side meeting between Girish Sethi TERI, Arun Kumar TARA and O. Schwank on the margins of the

DSDS on 23rd January 2007, Arun Kumar assessed the foundry cluster CDM not workable through the small scale meth-odology applied for vertical shaft brick kilns. If substantiated, the foundries cluster Belgaum would need an own CDM methodology.

Sustainable Development Summit.

2. Objective, what will be the outcome of the HYREF-CDM Methodology?

The expected outcome of the proposed subproject implemented within the frame of CDM activi-

ties implemented under the SECO/UNIDO CT project is the development of a CDM methodol-

ogy for manufacturing of hydrocarbon based refrigerators. In order to simplify the complexity of

the methodological approach it is proposed to develop in a first step only a methodology for

manufacturing of climate friendly refrigerators and their use. Retrofitting of old refrigerators

could follow in a second step as and when the first methodology would have been accepted.The

target is a methodology accepted by the CDM Executive Board by spring 2008. The methodology

shall address the climate benefits resulting from the use of a low GWP refrigerant as well from

higher energy efficiency levels than the base standard of one or two star models under the re-

cently introduced energy labelling scheme in India. The methodology shall be developed based

on a benchmark approach. The specific situation of a “captive” system of hydrocarbon refrigerant

management developed by Godrej & Boyce (refer to figure 1) can be used for determination of

the emission baseline (emission factors) resulting from the use of refrigerants. Monitoring and

verification applicable for CDM activities of several project proponents in India and possibly in

other developing countries yet needs further specification. If other firms would wish to convert

from HFC134a to hydrocarbon refrigerant, the proposed methodology could be used to prepare a

firm specific project design document (PDD) using the same methodology which is, as regards

parameters used, specific for India. 4 main benefits are expected from the targeted carbon finance

flows under HYREF:

First: According to the IPCC 4th Assessment report (SPM WG1 of 2nd February 2007), halo-

carbons contribute +0.34 W/m2 to radiative forcing compared to +1.66W/m2 of CO2 (at 380

ppm or 7.2 Gt C emission levels for 2000-2005). Abating halocarbon emissions are among the

effective short term response measures for reducing radiative forcing up to 2030/2050.

Second: HYREF will attract additional investments into widening the supply of HC refriger-

ant to the Indian market, and thus make this supply a commercially fully viable business (this

objective has been targeted by the HIDECOR project, but due to barriers prevailing has still

not been achieved yet).

Third: HYREF will facilitate India’s compliance with the Montreal Protocol, as retrofit of

old, CFC12 based refrigerators to hydrocarbon refrigerant (compared to the costly option

HFC134a or blends of HFCs such as R-413a 9 which are currently introduced into the market,

see box “retrofit” in figure 1) will be made commercially more attractive with support of car-

bon finance.

9 R-413 (FC-218/HFC-134a/HC-600a ) is commercially available as ISCEON-MO49.

14|


Fourth: HYREF will establish a commercial incentive to convert manufacturing of new hy-

drocarbon refrigerators gradually to isobutane, which is the leading technology applied in A-

class, highly energy efficient refrigerators in the global market. Godrej & Boyce in manufac-

turing of refrigerators today still uses the propane/isobutane blend introduced as “green-

freeze” by Greenpeace and an East German manufacturer in the 1990ies.

For the development of the proposed HYREF methodology, the participation of Godrej & Boyce

is crucial, as the (so far confidential) manufacturing and process data of the enterprise does allow

the estimation of emission factors which is a crucial step in the development of a new methodol-

ogy. The captive hydrocarbon refrigerant supply system operated by Godrej & Boyce is unique

for India. Godrej & Boyce have on 16th January 2007 expressed interest to issue a formal EoI

letter to the SCO-I to expedite the process of methodology development. The chances of success

with regard to the establishment of a sector baseline for the GHG emissions caused by the use of

refrigerants as a part of a “benchmark” methodology are assessed as high10.

The crucial challenge in methodology development is the sector benchmark for energy efficiency

of the refrigerators fielded in India (use pattern of a test sample as well as reference sample:

availability and access to data for public domain). The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has

established an efficiency standard for both frost free refrigerator as well as direct cooled refrig-

erator models for India’s energy labelling scheme for refrigerators. A revised labelling standard

classifying products into 5 energy efficiency classes enters into force on 1st April 2007.

10 Result of consultation with Godrej & Boyce on 16th January and with Prof R.S. Agarwal / IIT Delhi on 22nd January 2007. The emission factor estimation will have to be made for a representative model of the family of direct cooled refrigerators (e.g. 170l model) and one for a representative frost free model (e.g. 240l pentacool Frost-Free-model).

Figure 2 illustrates the 4 sources of emission abatement proposed to be included in HYREF (for

the example of project year 2010):

1) abatement of initial emissions of HFCs in manufacturing on account of HC refrigerator manu-

facturing in the year 2010 (better than refrigerant benchmark).

2) abatement of HFC distribution losses in handling and filling of refrigerant cylinders in the year

2010.

3) abatement of HFC servicing emissions on account of HC refrigerators manufactured between

2007 (project start) and 2010 and requiring servicing in year 2010.

4) operation of appliance fleet manufactured between 2007 (project start) and 2010 and being

more efficient than the sector benchmark for energy efficiency.

3. How to get there? Proposed Schedule and Organisational Set up

The institutional arrangements and the stakeholder landscape is quite complex (Figure 4). In the

meeting between SECO and UNIDO on February 8th 2007 it was decided to take up the develop-

ment of the HYREF methodology as one of the CDM project cases under the SECO/UNIDO

cleaner technology project. Crucial know-how on hydrocarbon technology and the business case

is on the other hand now with INFRAS and Indian Partners involved in the

ECOFRIG/HIDECOR/NCCoPP project implementation. Another essential element is the CDM

methodology know-how (Programmatic activities, benchmarking). A feasibility mission by IN-

FRAS (March 9th-22nd, 2007) has clarified the institutional architecture of the methodology de-

velopment process (energy efficiency standards and input data which is available from BEE,

short list of Indian firms which could qualify as nodal service providers) and the sequence of

tasks/TORs for implementation through UNIDO. A spread sheet is available for estimating

abated refrigerant emissions for the “captive system GODREJ & BOYCE” as displayed in figure

2. An equivalent data base for energy consumption is available through the BEE standard for an

energy efficiency labelling of refrigerators. Verification of actual usage pattern (energy consump-

tion and servicing) needs yet to be established through monitoring of a field sample.

DOE: Designated operational Entity, PDD: Project Design Document, IITD: IIT Delhi, and D.D Arora Mumbai are proposed

resource persons. TüV-Süd may be a good choice as Designated Operational Entity. This choice is indicative at this stage.

A further critical factor in CDM project development is time: The first commitment period of the

Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012. Demand and prices for post 2012 CERs will remain uncertain for

quite some time to come. The HYREF methodology and the PDD supporting one proposed pro-

ject activity should be presented by October 2007 to the CDM Executive Board/Meth Panel. This

is the likely closing date for methodologies considered by the CDM EB for its meeting held in the

first quarter of 2008..

The consultations with the relevant stakeholders done during the feasibility mission in March

2007 substantiated that there is a clear public interest in developing innovative methodologies in

18|


the domain of energy efficiency for appliances.. Development of new methodologies justifies

engagement of public funds.

The feasibility mission in March 2007 has defined the institutional design of the methodology

development process. In consultation with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency clear advantage was

seen in applying the benchmark approach, as such a CDM methodology for refrigerator appli-

ances would mark a step forward in establishing a level playing field for environmentally sound

technologies. Since there are only 5 major manufactures for domestic refrigerators in India a pro-

gramme of activity method would not be justified. There is no need for defining an entity as a

custodian of the proposed methodology. In consultation with UNIDO it has been further decided

to move ahead in steps and to “cross the bridge when we reach the river”. Core elements for

demonstration of additionality and baseline are still under consideration. A set of TOR for the

different service providers is being developed based on the results of the feasibility mission. The

stakeholder letter by the project proponent to UNIDO shall reflect an informed decision taken.

It is suggested to prepare the HYREF methodology in two phases as displayed below:

data level. In the proposed main phase I all pending conceptual matters would be decided and a

draft methodology would be designed without collection of data. The output of this phase is a

draft methodology supported with best guesses on the intended use of data. Not statistical as-

sessment of data is done at this stage. The institutional architecture requires a combination of

reimbursable loan agreements for international service providers and local UNIDO contracts for

service providers from India. Coordination of these activities shall be provided by INFRAS.

4. In the following main phase II the refined methodology and PDD are being developed based

on measured field data. The process is structured into a phase IIa up to October 2007 (before

methodology submission) and a phase IIb after this targeted submission of the HYREF method-

ology to the EB/Meth Panel. The methodology shall be submitted through a Designated Opera-

tional Entity (contracted through UNIDO possibly by end of June 2007) and subsequently walked

through the comments by the Meth Panel.

4. TOR Phase 1

Detailed task, schedule and outputs for the different mandates are specified in separate work-

sheets.

Key elements with regard to the conceptual design are summarized in table 1 displayed below.

The key output of the methodology design phase 1 is a draft methodology applied in a PDD based

on the key steps of the methodology with the data available by June 2007. The organisational set

up is displayed in Figure 4.

INFRAS shall take the lead on behalf of the CTP International Reference Centre. Sector back-

ground information and knowledge available from the side of the project proponent (Godrej &

Boyce Mfg. Ltd.), NCCoPP partners (IIT Delhi / Prof. Agarwal11 , external experts12 as well

views as from side of other stakeholder actors (BEE, MoEF Govt. of India, NCPC, UNIDO,)

shall be assessed and be incorporated into the conceptual design13 of the main phase. Contractual

involvement Indian Partners with crucial know how shall take place in a flexible, demand driven

manner.

11 The advice from Prof R.S. Agarwal, IITD (refrigerant) and BEE (Ajay Mathur, Ali Kaupp) will be crucial for applying the

sector benchmark approach. Sourcing information from the existing knowledge network established under the ECOFRIG project will contribute to “speeding up the learning curve” and “capitalising on the experience already gained by Swiss /NCCoPP partners under the Energy/Environment programme”. See also ECOFRIG case study in OECD/UNEP (2001) Climate Technology Initiative, “Technology without boarders”.

12 Christoph Sutter, Partner SouthpoleCarbon, is member of the Meth Panel and Expert in Methodological issues. As time is crucial, no learning by doing detours are feasible. The proposed role of SouthpoleCarbon is handholding and advising in feasibility of methodological issues..

13 The quantitative analysis for “climate impact estimation” has already been made by Kessler et al 2006

(www.infras.ch, refer also to Annex 6.2). This information needs to be updated to direct cooled/frost free models in

cooperation with Godrej and Boyce and may be transferred into the form of a draft PDD to the nodal Indian service pro-vider. This information is to be complemented by key information required for the stakeholder consultation during the main phase.

5. Cost estimate

The cost estimate for the work at the international and local level displayed in Table 2 It is as-

sumed that a budget of USD 50-70’000 each would be available for professional time and travels

of the nodal international service provider(s) as well as for local service providers during the

main phases I and IIa. The estimation of the cost of the field sample test is still tentative. It will

depend largely on the sample size required to establish sufficient statistical stability into the

framework of numbers. The total cost of methodology development (including contributions from

the project proponent) are estimated to fall into a range of 165’000-170’000 USD. Except the

contributions from the project proponent this shall be funded by SECO/UNIDO through the CT

project.

6.2 Background on the ECOFRIG/HIDECOR/NCCoPP Projects

India ratified the Montreal Protocol (MP) agreement on the reduction of Ozone Depleting Substances

(ODS) in 1992 under which India is obliged to comply and phase out CFCs by the year 2010.

In 1992 the ECOFRIG project was started as an Indo-Swiss-German collaboration on contributing to a

timely, self-reliant and sustainable phase-out of CFCs in the Indian domestic and commercial refrigera-

tion sector through promotion of the low GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant as replacement for CFC refriger-

ants. The first phase of the ECOFRIG project contributed to the application of low GWP cyclopentane

foam technology as a replacement of CFC11, avoiding the transitional HCFC141b route. As one of the

main results from the ECOFRIG phase II project, Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd. Appliance Division –

one of the major refrigeration appliance manufacturers in India16 – decided in 1999/2000 to phase out

CFCs in their production process by converting to hydrocarbon blend refrigerant (referred to as HC

blend)17. The full size conversion project was implemented under support by the Multilateral Fund to the

Montreal Protocol in 2001/2002. The Swiss total German investment under the ECOFRIG public pri-

vate partnership was equivalent to approx. 10 million USD, the industry contribution exceeded this

investment. Godrej envisages doing a second conversion to isobutane in the mid-term future to respond

to recently introduced energy labelling in India and to the enhanced consumer demands for energy effi-

ciency. This conversion would not take place at one stroke but would be lead by converting the more

energy efficient “A-class” or 5-star models18 sold in Metros/large towns first. The poor power availabil-

ity in rural areas, with voltages frequently dropping to 160–180V, acts as a barrier to the introduction of

more energy efficient models in these rural markets. The simpler designed HC blend base models would

retain some consumer preference in these markets past 2010.

Parallel to the final phase of the ECOFRIG project, which ended in 2003, the bilateral Indo-Swiss pro-

ject HIDECOR was started (2001–2004), primarily for providing training on good servicing practices

16 The company manufactured 570’000 refrigerators in 2001/2002 and 740’000 refrigerators in 2005/2006. The total market

volume in India was around 4 million refrigerators in 2005/2006. 17 Propane/Isobutane 50:50% blend. This refrigerant matches the thermodynamic properties of CFC12 and is therefore

marketed in India under brand names such as CARE 30 or minus 30. HFC134a does not match CFC12 properties as ex-

actly as the propane/isobutane blend does. HC blend therefore yields an energy efficiency gain over HFC134a and is

technically suited for retrofitting of CFC12 based appliances such as domestic and commercial refrigerators (such as e.g.

visicoolers for Coca Cola ect), deep freezers or mobile air conditioners (MAC) in small cars such as “Maruti 800/Zen” or

“Tata Indica”. In manufacturing and retrofit due precaution to the flammable nature of the refrigerant has to be used. In-

ternational norms consider charge quantities up 150g in domestic refrigeration and 250g in MAC as safe. 18 Energy efficiency standards and the Kyoto Protocol contributed to an increase of isobutane in the global domestic refrig-

erator market of 40% (source Prof. Agarwal, TEAP report under preparation). Isobutane has recently penetrated Japan

and the US and makes a significant inroad into China. South East Asia and India are lagging behind in this process. Iso-

butane yields efficiency gains in the order of 3–5% over HFC134a. Isobutane is globally the leading refrigerant among the

“A-class” of 5-star refrigerators with highest energy efficiency.

and hydrocarbon based retrofit to service technicians in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC)

sector. This project continued the ECOFRIG cooperation with interested Indian firms facilitating the

import of hydrocarbon refrigerant to India on a commercial basis. By the end of the HIDECOR project

in December 2004, more than 10’500 service technicians were trained in 7 states of the country. In

March 2004, the Multilateral Fund approved the National CFC Consumption Phase-out Plan for the

refrigeration Service Sector in India (NCCoPP) which also covers training of service technicians based

on the methodology developed under HIDECOR. INFRAS was designated as implementing agency for

training under NCCoPP on behalf of the Swiss Government. Throughout the series of projects the efforts

were ongoing to strengthen the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants as an ozone and climate friendly tech-

nology.

Since 2004, more than 5’000 service technicians were trained under NCCoPP all over India. By end of

March 2007, the 3rd

year of implementation of NCCoPP project is completed. NCCoPP is proud of the

record of activities which has been achieved so far. Alone in the past 12 month, NCCoPP has run 69

training programs for Refrigeration Service Enterprise technicians in all regions of India which en-

hanced the skills and environmental awareness of 1’800 professionals.

By today the NCCoPP project has reached its mature state and the full variety of activities planned

under the project are under implementation. The main challenge is to reach more coverage, especially

in remoter areas throughout the country which have not yet received adequate attendance. A special

challenge emerges in addressing the need for retrofitting of existing refrigeration units charged with

ozone depleting CFCs and probably even HFC134a. The scientific evidence from the just published

4th

assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms that climate

change is real, that warming has already started to impact atmosphere and biosphere and that HFC and

HCFC emissions are increasingly contributing to Global Warming. In the year 2005, halocarbons

contributed in the order of 20% of the total net anthropogenic radiative forcing of all greenhouse

gases. This will raise pressure to limit the use of HCFCs and HFCs in future for which the RAC trade

has to prrepare. One key to addressing this challenge will be the retrofit option through hydrocarbon

refrigerants. From the market and from industry data evidence has been received that retrofit activities

on the basis of ozone and climate friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant is rapidly gaining momentum, also

on the background of increasing prices for CFCs. Based on the initiative taken by the NCCoPP part-

ners Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (and also Hindustan Refrigeration Stores) in marketing

hydrocarbon refrigerants in India, INFRAS had recently estimated19 the abatement of greenhouse gas

emissions from promoting these refrigerants under the ECOFRIG, HIDECOR and NCCoPP project

activities. The result shows that for the operational year 2006/2007, the use of hydrocarbon refrigerant

led to the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to almost 40’000 tons of CO2. And the

trend is sharply increasing (see also figure 5). This is a significant impact of

ECOFRIG/HIDECOR/NCCoPP which reaches beyond the protection of the ozone layer.
