Decision 92/35

Subsequently, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note:
   1. The project proposal for the conversion of commercial refrigerator manufacturing at Friocima from the use of HFC-134a as the refrigerant to propane (R-290);
   2. That Friocima was considered a small and medium-sized enterprise;
   3. That Friocima would undertake the energy-efficiency component of the conversion estimated at US $80,000, with its own funds;
2. To approve the project proposal indicated in subparagraph (a) above, in the amount of US $136,500, plus agency support costs of US $12,285, for UNDP, on the understanding:
   1. That 7,407 CO2-equivalent tonnes (5.18 metric tonnes) of HFC-134a would be deducted from the starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in HFC consumption once it had been established, and that that deduction would be undertaken in accordance with the methodology agreed under the HFC cost guidelines still under discussion;
   2. That the present project would be integrated into stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Mexico, once the plan had been fully formulated for submission for consideration by the Executive Committee;
   3. That the level of costs approved would not constitute a precedent for future HFC individual investment project proposals; and
3. To note the commitment of the Government of Mexico to undertake, during stage I of the KIP, analysis of the regulatory mechanisms that could be applied to limit the local manufacture and imports of small self-contained commercial refrigeration units with HFC-134a in Mexico.
