BACKHighlights and Achievements

Thailand now has

10 producersof refrigerators, chiller and air conditioners as front runners of green cooling technologies, who are activating the market and moving the industry towards wider use of natural refrigerants.

more than 150,000 green cooling units in the Thai and export markets. Particularly in

the commercial refrigeration sector,

the number of green cooling units is projected

to increase to more than 90% ofmarket share in the next 3 years.

Thailand now has

BECAUSE OF OUR

C PERATION

Thailand now has

222 master trainers and head technicianstrained with the knowledge and skills on the safe use and handling of natural refrigerants, also known as “R-Training”. The no. of service

technicians are projected to expand to 2000 – 3000 by 2022.

Thailand now has

8 TRAINING CENTERSestablished across the country, led by KMUTNB

as the R-Training champion, in cooperation

with Department of Skill Development and

Office of the Vocational Education Commission.

BECAUSEOF OUR

C O PERATION

Within 2021, Thailand will soon have R Training course embedded in

national up-skill curriculum ofDepartment of Skill Development, ensuring long-term competence of the service workforce.

If the product follows the standard, it is safe to use while installation and servicing needs to be done by trained technicians.

Thailand has now the experience and expertise on product safety,

being the first-hand experience by producers or academic knowledge at KMUTNB.


testing facilities for air-cons for natural refrigerant technologyat the Electrical and Electronics Institute in accordance with the new TIS 1529-2561 standard on safety of air-cons using flammable refrigerants,

in preparation for market introduction.

Thailand now has

Thailand now has an EESL (Energy Efficiency, Standards and Labeling) Roadmap for the RAC Sector prepared, which contributes to discussions on:

Update of the Label No. 5Chiller energy performance and testing standards


Thailand now has

a knowledge product on production line conversionfrom the industry’s first movers in switching to green cooling. The report

conserves producers’ experience and will be shared toother industry players to follow suit with the greener technological trend.

BECAUSE OF OUR

C PERATION


Thailand now has

MRV system to track mitigation potential

from the green cooling products.

When the domestic market

share grows, Thailand will soon be able to report

more of the current

production.

Overall project GHG mitigation results are

350,000 tCO2eq incl.

all production that goes into the export markets.

35,000 tCO2eqof local sales have been

captured through the MRV tool and can be formally reported

by Thailand.

Don’t expect wonders from the first generation of a technology; launching new technology requires some iterations in sourcing the right components (e.g., in some case leading to uncertain results in energy performance in early stage)

High integration required,

between financial and technical components, toward market transition

Financial management requires “attention to details and accountability” as it involves complex challenges and processes e.g., auditing, internal regulations, taxation, financial and contractual management

LOOKING F RWARD:

SustainableExit Strategies

PolicyRecommendations

EGAT has set an example with Label No. 5 for the retail market;

similar action should be taken for commercial equipment.

KIGALIAMENDMENT


Thailand should use the opportunity of the Kigali Amendment and the momentum built by RAC NAMA to seriously consider

natural refrigerants as a low hanging fruit.

NATURAL REFRIGERANTS

INTERNATIONALSTANDARD

Thailand should speed up adoption of international standards, which may serve as a reference for other safety relevant regulations,

such as the building code.


National skill standards and curricula should embrace

natural refrigerants, both safety aspects as well as environmental benefits.
