Management of ODS in Fisheries
Time Description Room / Location Level / Floor
13:00
Organizer: UNEP OzonAction 
Description:
The use of refrigeration technology is an essential requirement at all stages of the fisheries industry: from catch to processing, to food plate. One of the most common refrigerants used in the fishing industry is hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC-22), a controlled ozone depleting substance (ODS) under the Montreal Protocol (MP).  The fisheries sector, both marine and on-land processing, has so far not been sufficiently studied or engaged in the HCFC-22 phase-out processes.  This data gap can have implications for both compliance with the Montreal Protocol and the industry that is dependent on refrigeration technology.

ORNL Alternative Refrigerant Evaluation for High-Ambient-Temperature Environments
Time Description Room / Location Level / Floor
13:30

Organizer: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Department of Energy, USA
Description:
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) High-Ambient-Temperature Evaluation Program for Low-GWP Refrigerants aims to develop an understanding of the performance of lower global warming potential (low-GWP) alternative refrigerants to hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants in mini-split air conditioners under high-ambient-temperature conditions. This final report to be presented in the side event describes the parties involved, the alternative refrigerants selection process, the test procedures, and the results.

Organizer: UNEP OzonAction
Description:
Refrigeration is crucial for cold-chain industry and food security which is one of the key post-2015 sustainable development goals recently adopted by world leaders. The integration of food security, energy efficiency and climate actions in combination with managing refrigerants and reducing emissions will be of great value and high impact on economies especially in developing countries.

EPEE workshop: A “Gapometer” to help defining a route towards a successful phase down
Time Description Room / Location Level / Floor
18:00
Organizer: EPEE
Description:
EPEE - representing the European heating, cooling, refrigeration and heat pump industry is very much committed in supporting the implementation of the EU F-Gas Regulation and its ambitious HFCs’ phase-down objectives. To this aim EPEE is in the process of developing the “Gapometer” project aimed at defining a route towards a successful phase down and to identify the biggest risks of gaps between supply and demand. The objective of this workshop is to present the Gapometer project and hence contributing to raise industry and EU and national decision makers’ awareness on the adaptations that need to be undertaken in order to achieve the phase down objectives.
