The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve the demonstration project in Saudi Arabia on promoting hydrofluoro-olefin-based refrigerants with low-global warming potential for the air-conditioning sector in high ambient temperatures, in the amount of US $1,300,000, plus agency support costs of US $91,000 for UNIDO, in line with decision 72/40, on the understanding that the testing of window air‑conditioning units with HC-290 could also be conducted despite reduced funding for the project; and
- To request the Government of Saudi Arabia and UNIDO to complete the project within 24 months of its approval, and to submit a comprehensive final report soon after project completion.
