Project on HCFC phase-out in the Russian Federation

Project “Phase Out of HCFCs and Promotion of HFC-Free Energy Efficient Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Systems in the Russian Federation Through Technology Transfer” was aimed at fulfilling Russia’s obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

Objectives and tasks

The primary objective of the project was to contribute to phase out of 600 ODP tons HCFC in the refrigeration and foam sectors which would result in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions approximately by 15.6 mln CO2 t.

The secondary objective was to transfer innovative technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 10 mln CO2 t in 5 years through reduction of energy consumption. Read more

Project Organizers

The project was developed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) on the the initiative by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (MNRE RF). The project was supported by the Global Environment Facility’s (GEF) finance.

Executing agency

ICSTI is a not-for-profit intergovernmental organization set up in 1969 under the provisions of a multilateral, intergovernmental agreement, with headquarters in Moscow. Read more

Participants and partners

The implementation of the project involved federal executive bodies, industrial enterprises, training centers, research institutions, non-government organizations, trade mass media. Read more

Project management

The project was managed by the UNIDO’s Vienna office with the implementation control by the Steering committee. The national executing agency of the final stage was ICSTI. Read more
