HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan (Stage II - SWA/PHA/86/INV/31) - UNDP-SWZ

About this project

Eswatinis consumption of HCFCs is in the servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. In 2021 Eswatini consumed 6.79 Metric Tons (MT) of HCFC- 22 used to repair and service residential, commercial, and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. Following the phase-out of the consumption of CFCs in domestic and commercial refrigeration equipment, significant quantities of HCFC have been introduced and their use continues to grow.It was therefore imperative that strategic measures are taken to reduce and eliminate the use of such ODS containing equipment in Eswatini to ensure compliance with the Montreal Protocol and combat climate change. With support from the Multilateral Fund, Eswatini initiated the implementation of the Stage 1 of the HPMP from 2010 and it was completed in 2020. In stage I Eswatini successfully achieved the 35% HCFC reduction as per the targets set in the Montreal Protocol and the phase out of HCFCs in the manufacturing (foam making) sector.Having achieved these results in the HPMP Stage I of the HCFC phaseout management plan, new set of strategies and activities have been designed through the HPMP Stage Il to achieve a 67,5% HCFC reduction by 2025, and complete HCFC phase-out by 2030 with a servicing tail of 2.5% until 2040. Therefore, the project seeks to provide, achieve, and sustain the HCFC phase-out by promoting the adoption of zero Ozone Depletion Potential and low Global Warming Potential technologies consistent with the…
