Venezuela: Implementation of a centralized reclamation plant for recovered refrigerants in the commercial refrigeration and air conditioning sector (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/22/56)
Having considered the recommendation of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/22/15, para. 20), the Executive Committee decided to approve the above project, taking into account the following considerations:
(a) The significant use of ODS for refrigeration in Venezuela;
(b) The assurance, based on the success of past recycling projects in Venezuela, that the project could be successfully implemented;
(c) The indication from the additional data provided that, at least for the first few years, the operational costs would exceed the benefits;
(d) The understanding that the project was intended to provide regional capacity for refrigerant reclamation.
