In accordance with the recommendations of the contact group established under agenda item 8(a), Overview of issues identified during project review, to consider projects to demonstrate low-global- warming-potential technologies and feasibility studies on district cooling, the Executive Committee decided to defer consideration of the following projects to the 76th meeting:
- China: Demonstration project for an ammonia/carbon dioxide (NH3/CO2) refrigeration system using semi-hermetic frequency convertible screw refrigeration compressor units in the industrial and commercial refrigeration industry at Fujian Snowman Co., Ltd. (UNDP);
- Colombia: Demonstration project to validate the use of HFOs for discontinuous panels in Article 5 parties through the development of cost-effective formulations (UNDP);
- Egypt: Demonstration of low cost options for conversion to non-ODS technologies in polyurethane foams at very small users (UNDP);
- Saudi Arabia: Demonstration project for the phase-out of HCFCs by using HFO as a foam blowing agent in spray foam applications in high-ambient temperatures (UNIDO);
- Saudi Arabia: Demonstration project at air-conditioning manufacturers to develop window and packaged air-conditioners using lower GWP refrigerants (World Bank);
- South Africa: Demonstration project on the technical and economic advantages of vacuum assisted injection in a discontinuous panel plant retrofitted from HCFC-141b to pentane (UNIDO);
- Thailand: Demonstration project at foam system houses to formulate pre-blended polyol for spray polyurethane foam applications using low-GWP blowing agent (World Bank); and
- Regional: West Asia: Demonstration project for promoting low-GWP refrigerants in high ambient temperature countries in West Asia (PRAHA-II) (UNEP/UNIDO).
