The short seminar aims at shedding some light on these relevant and topical points:
1) Lack of adequate capacity building, focus on flammable refrigerants and safety, importance of certification
2) Protect EU’s goals: ensuring F-gas Regulation compatibility with availability of equipment, lower- GWP refrigerant alternatives and trained personnel (technicians and engineers) to install them
3) The challenges set by alternative and natural refrigerants: flammability, toxicity, high pressures, heat energy…

The seminar includes five high-level speakers - both AREA Members and the sister pan-African Association U-3ARC, to deliver presentations concerning the programme.
