Phase-out options for HFC refrigerants

This report was prepared by Dr Don Cleland on behalf of the Ministry for the Environment to inform the development of options for F-gas emissions reduction policies. For example:
* Phased prohibition of refrigerant-containing products and servicing options
 
* Emissions reduction plan discussion document.

It includes analysis of technology options and possible phasedown schedules of refrigerants in different types of heating and cooling equipment. None of these have been decided upon by the government. Their purpose is to inform public discussion on the available options to reduce emissions in the refrigerant sector.

Please note that while all efforts have been made, this analysis may contain inaccuracies.
