Project Summary:
The third phase of the project was approved by the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund on November 2021 and is focused to assist the Government of the Republic of Moldova to achieve the complete HCFCs phase-out by 2030, allowing for the 2.5% servicing tail during the period 2030-2040, and is intended to serve as a direct implementation instrument of the country’s policy and commitment to meet its obligations under the Montreal Protocol. It will continue strengthening achievements under the HCFCs phase-out process, focusing on by preserving the infrastructure, logistics and distribution-channels with enterprises, service companies and technicians involved in the CFC technology.
Objectives:
- Strengthening of the HCFCs Recovery, recycling and reclamation (RRR) system and application of good refrigeration practices and procedures in the RAC services sector;
- Technology support to refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector, formal technical education for institutes and centers and Environmental Protection Inspectorate.
- Develop and implement a new technologies demonstration programme on natural refrigerants in commercial and cold stories sectors via local assembly.
Expected results:
- HCFCs Recovery, recycling and reclamation (RRR) system upgraded / strengthened and in use to reduce dependence on import of HCFCs.;
- Non-ODS/low-zero GWP (NH3, CO2, HCs etc.) technologies in the servicing sector demonstrated in at least 4 cases.;
- Technical staff trained on adequate use of equipment and best refrigeration practices in equipment/products maintenance and conversion of HCFCs based equipment to non-HCFCs technology.
