Activities for CN 2050 in Japan

Currently, the biggest challenge in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector in Japan is refrigerant conversion and energy efficiency toward CN2050. In this session, we will discuss Japan's new initiatives and the current state of refrigerant life cycle management.

Description

In 2020, the Japanese government declared an ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In the refrigeration and air conditioning sector, major issues must be resolved, particularly the gradual reduction of HFC refrigerants (refrigerant conversion) in response to the Kigali Amendment, the improvement of energy efficiency, and refrigerant life cycle management. We at JRAIA promote the concept of S+3Es as a basic approach to achieving CN2050. This is a similar challenge in other countries around the world, but in this session we will particularly introduce the progress of the Kigali Amendment in Japan, and as an example, new VRF system products that use low GWP refrigerants that have been announced one after another since February of this year. Then, as part of our efforts with new refrigerants, particularly for small air conditioners for which no optimal alternative refrigerant has yet been found, we will introduce a new refrigerant with a very low GWP value that is currently under development, as well as the status of our consideration of flammable natural refrigerants, particularly from the perspective of safety. Finally, from the perspective of the refrigerant lifecycle, we will introduce Japan's legal regulations regarding fluorocarbons (Act on Rational Use and Appropriate Management of Fluorocarbons and the Ozone Layer Protection Law). We will also discuss the current situation in Japan regarding the extremely important recovery and regeneration of refrigerants, the status of measures being implemented, and the gradually improving results. ... read more
