Programmatic approach towards
sustainable refrigeration, air conditioning and foa m production
� Since the 1st January 2011 the GTZ changed it’s name to GIZ due
to a merger with:
� DED – Deutscher Entwichlungsdienst GmbH
� InWent – Internationale Weiterbildung und Entwicklung
GmbH
PROKLIMA – a programme within GIZ
Introduction GTZ Proklima� GIZ Ltd. (GmbH)
� International cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, established in 1975.
� Currently, ca. 2,600 development projects and programmes in 126 countries with 67 own offices. App. 18,000 employees, of which 1,400 people employed at the Head Office in Eschborn near Frankfurt am Main

PROKLIMA – a programme within GIZ
� Since 1996 following guidelines and resolutions adopted in the 1987 “Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer”.
� Advises governments of partner countries, companies on drafting local
regulations , setting policies and replacement of ozone depleting technologies.
� Cooperates with 30 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America in the fields of
refrigeration, foam blowing, fire fighting equipment and agriculture
� Since 1996 over 235 projects in almost 40 countries, with an overall volume of
Barriers to low-GWP refrigerantsGeneral recommendations
� Awareness-raising� Highlight the importance of the (climate) problem and the
possibilities of (low-GWP) options available
� Training� Critical to adopt dedicated training – specific to each individual
low-GWP alternative and specific to application/end use

low-GWP alternative and specific to application/end use
� Guidance� High quality guidance of what low-GWP alternative, when, where
and how; also targeted to specific stakeholder groups
� Technical development� Improving efficiency of R744 AC systems for warm climates,
reducing refrigerant charge sizes for HC systems, safety control mechanisms for system using flammables
Barriers to low-GWP refrigerantsGeneral recommendations
� Market development� Stimulate industry involvement with low-GWP alternatives; encourage
local manufacturing, develop product directories, etc
� Financial incentives� Subsidies for using low-GWP, tax incentives for low-GWP / tax
disincentives for high-GWP
24.05.2011 Seite 16Page 16
disincentives for high-GWP
� Regulatory infrastructure� Impose better control of industry to work safely, modify regulations that
inhibit low-GWP alternatives, ensure safety standards are constructive
� Montreal Protocol substantive issues� Decision-making bodies to introduce more incentives, HPMP
consultants should be better assisted to embrace low-GWP alternatives
� ENGOs to more actively lobby on the high/low-GWP issue

� How & where stakeholders can affect process

� Cooperation with all main stakeholders – massive involvement of private industry;
� Local added value (localization of technology, local assembly; value chain)
� Capacity development (individuals, organisations, institutions, networks)

Proklima Introduction
Proklima
�Promotes Technology Transfer through mutual partnerships
�Assists partner enterprises in developing countries to acquire, use and further develop technology know-how for sustainable business development
�Recognizes that environmental protection will work best, when it is also good business.

also good business.
�Environmentally safe, sustainable technology must be widely introduced through business partnerships to effectively protect the future of our children.
� Germany, as an industrialized country, did a lot of the environmental damage we are trying to fix today.
� ECA fast growing economies are developing in a similar way (� EU harmonisation/accession).
