The
Path is set for RAC’s New Journey Towards Sustainability
A top-down
and bottom-up approach is needed to meet targets for reduction on emissions
of fluorinated refrigerants, say experts at the 14th European
gathering on refrigeration and air conditioning.
Last week, leading authorities in refrigeration and air
conditioning highlighted the need to strengthen and enforce existing
regulations for fluorinated greenhouse gases. Yet, meeting environmental
targets for green house gas emissions will also require end
users to be educated and involved in taking responsibility for their
refrigeration units.
Nearly 200 delegates from over 23 countries across
Europe, the United States, South Korea, India and Japan gathered in Milan for
the second installment of the 14th European
Conference on Renewable Energy and Heating.
The conference, which was organized by the Centro Studi Galileo,
European Energy Centre, UNEP, IIR and TERRE focused heavily on the latest
technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) and setting an
economically and environmentally sustainable vision for the industry.
The head of OzonAction Branch of United Nations
Environment Programme, Mr Shende, who chaired the conference said,
“The destiny of refrigeration and air
conditioning industry lies in forging a
sustainable business model that cares for the environment.”
During his speech Mr Shende called to mind Mahatma Gandhi’s
philosophy about how beliefs and thoughts guide
our habits, values and ultimately our destiny.
“The RAC industry is starting a new
journey amidst legislative threats. But on the way new job creation and
other low-hanging fruits offer exceptional opportunities for a truly Green
Economy. Those opportunities
should be part of our value system.”
Yet, Didier Coulomb of the International Institute
of Refrigeration (IIR) stressed the importance of making careful choices
when selecting new environmentally friendly technologies, “The selection of
refrigerants needs to be linked to an energy efficient solution”.
This was met with agreement by Marco Buoni, Vice
President of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration European Association (AREA),
“AREA’s members are uniquely placed to give expert, but unbiased advice
about the use of various refrigerants.
We know that CO2 and other natural refrigerants are good
for northern climates and supermarkets but they are not much used in Italy,
Portugal or Spain.”
Mr Buoni also called for more training of
technicians and other staff handling natural refrigerants and not only HFCs,
“the UK is trying to roll out a rapid changeover from HFC to CO2
use because of political pressure, but the industry simply doesn’t have
enough competent, fully trained field engineers to install, service and
maintain them.”
Many speakers, including
the European Commission, expressed disappointment about the lack of
implementation of ‘certification of personnel’ regulations in Italy, which
is leading to a distortion of the EU market.
European Commission DG Climate
Action, Lucia Antonini, about the future review of the F-gas regulation said
“If necessary, we will see upgrade and/or strengthen of existing
legislation through clarification and enhancement of its effectiveness and
efficiency”, she also also said that this could be foreseen ”to anticipate
future developments by ensuring compatibility with potential international
commitments for HFCs, in particular under the Montreal Protocol”.
By
implementing such changes along with increased involvement of end-users in
directing the industry and helping to maintain units, it may be possible to
achieve the ‘Systems Thinking’ approach
which Professor Susan Roaf of Edinburgh Heriot-Watt University of Edinburgh
sees as an essential design principle for the future, “We must work together
in strategic partnerships where the effect of each part of the industry,
including the training needs of installers is considered in relationship to
the health of the whole industry and our environment”.
