Trinidad and
Tobago is implementing the largest ever grant funded national project under the
Global Environmental Facility (GEF) entitled “Energy
Efficiency through the Development of Low-carbon Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning (RAC) Technologies in Trinidad and Tobago”. This
project, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Planning and
Development and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), seeks to,
amongst other things, assist in the establishment of a structure for ensuring
that the equipment being imported into the country in the RAC industry meets
international standards from an energy efficiency perspective as well as
encourage the move towards low-global warming potential (GWP)) alternative refrigerants. Identified as
crucial to the transition, is the need to ensure that the existing refrigerant gases
are managed properly during servicing, through good refrigeration practices as
well as ensure that they are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
To this end, a consultation was held with key stakeholders to discuss a way forward on this issue .
