In Guangzhou in southern China, COPA conducted a pilot activity to estimate the HFC emission reduction potential from standardized recycling processes in the automotive repair industry.  Based on data collected during the pilot, a methodology was developed by Heat for calculating the emissions baseline and refrigerant mitigation scenarios for passenger cars serviced in the pilot workshop and the Guangzhou metropolitan area,

In Guangzhou in southern China, COPA conducted a pilot activity to estimate the HFC emission reduction potential from standardized recycling processes in the automotive repair industry.  The research and activities from the pilot are summarized in a report, which will be presented. Welcome!

The research work was led by the China Automotive Technology Research Center (CATARC) in close collaboration with the Harson Group, who implemented the pilot data survey and training in one of their automobile repair shops. Based on data collected during the pilot, a methodology was developed by Heat for calculating the emissions baseline for passenger cars serviced in the pilot workshop and the Guangzhou metropolitan area, as well as estimated the potential emissions reductions from different mitigation scenarios. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to:

• - Learn about the challenges & best practices for MAC refrigerants recycling of HFC
• - Realize the full emission reduction potential from HFCs in MAC in South China
• - Breeze the Emission Baseline Methodology
• - Ascertain lessons learned from the pilot
• - Discuss with experts from the COPA pilot

We cordially invite all COPA members to a COPA side event at OEWG46! 

Accelerating the destruction of ODS waste: an open discussion on the role and lessons-learned of the Climate and Ozone Protection Alliance

The side event seeks to reflect on the important role of COPA as well as on the lessons learned after two years of its operation. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and GIZ invite to debate how different aspects such as technology, regulatory frameworks, and financial mechanisms have been addressed in different contexts and countries. Success stories will be shared to encourage and inform new initiatives.

Agenda

Moderation: Bruns, Maria-Theresa GIZ/ Mr. Yunrui ZHOU, UNIDO / Ms. Ellen Michel, GIZ

The COPA 101-Series is hosted by the TWG Financing Mechanisms and moderated by TWG FM Chair Louis Potok. It is an introduction session to the thematic, no previous knowledge is required. Contact TWG FM coordinator to receive the meeting link, see the TWG FM website.  

COPA invites all members and respective guests to join the COPA Virtual Study Tour 2024, which will concentrate on the crucial stages of managing ODS and HFC banks, including reclamation, destruction, and dismantling.

The first session of the virtual tour will take us to Chile, where we will visit the Regener plant and learn about the step-by-step process of refrigerant reclamation, which involves a series of procedures to restore used refrigerants to their original state.

COPA invites all members and respective guests to join the COPA Virtual Study Tour 2024, which will concentrate on the crucial stages of managing ODS and HFC banks, including reclamation, destruction, and dismantling.

The second session of the virtual tour will take us to Ecuador, where we will visit UNACEM, the country's largest cement company, and learn about their expertise in destroying ODS in a cement kiln, as they are the only company authorized by the national government for co-processing ODS.

COPA invites all members and respective guests to join the COPA Webinar providing insights into the new COPA publication.
