Decision 74/26

The Executive Committee decided, in light of decision 74/21:

1. To approve the requests for funding for the following projects on the understanding that the approval of project preparation did not denote approval of the project proposal or its level of funding when submitted for consideration by the Executive Committee:
   1. Preparation of a demonstration project to develop ammonia semi-hermetic frequency convertible screw refrigeration system in the industrial and commercial refrigeration industry in China in the amount of US $24,000, plus agency support costs of US $1,680 for UNDP;
   2. Preparation of a demonstration project for the transition of HCFC-22-based refrigerant unit to ammonia (NH3) cascade system in refrigeration applications in Costa Rica, in the amount of US $40,000, plus agency support costs of US $2,800 for UNDP;
   3. Preparation of a demonstration project for development and evaluation of spray foam polyols systems for buildings using HFOs as blowing agent in India, in the amount of US $30,000, plus agency support costs of US $2,100 for UNDP;
   4. Preparation of demonstration of HCFC-free low-global warming potential (GWP) technologies performance in air-conditioning applications in Kuwait, in the amount of US $20,000, plus agency support costs of US $1,400 for UNDP;
   5. Preparation of a demonstration project for HCFC-free low-GWP alternatives in refrigeration in the fisheries sector in Maldives, in the amount of US $15,000, plus agency support costs of US $1,050 for UNDP;
2. Not to approve the requests for funding for:
   1. Preparation of a demonstration project for developing screw high temperature heat pump compressor units with low-GWP refrigerant in the industrial and commercial refrigeration industry in China;
   2. Preparation of demonstration of HCFC-free low-GWP technologies performance in the commercial refrigeration sector in Egypt;
   3. Preparation of a demonstration project for development and evaluation of polyol systems for foam products using HFOs as blowing agent in India;
   4. Preparation of a demonstration project for the production of hydrocarbons refrigerants for refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) applications in Latin America and the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago); and
   5. Preparation of an assessment of unsaturated HFOs in RAC applications in a small non-low-volume-consuming country (Uruguay).
