Singapore to Make Rules on Refrigerants Stricter

Singapore will introduce new rules to reduce bad emissions from cooling systems starting July 1, 2027.

These rules target big stores and vehicles to help reduce emissions by 2030 and reach zero emissions by 2050.

New supermarket cooling systems must use friendlier refrigerants from July 2027.

GWP measures how bad a gas is for the environment compared to carbon dioxide.

New cars and vehicles must also use these friendlier refrigerants from July 2028, but they get more time to adjust.

These new rules are similar to those in the European Union and Japan.

Only new equipment must follow these rules, so businesses can still use old systems.

Some companies already use these friendlier refrigerants, and suppliers are helping with the change.

Companies must register and follow proper disposal rules for old refrigerants from July 2027.

Many companies already follow these rules, and there are services to help with disposal.

Many cooling systems use HFC gases that contribute to global warming.

These gases are much worse for the environment than carbon dioxide.

In 2022, rules were introduced for household cooling systems to reduce emissions.

The new rules were made with the help of suppliers and recycling companies.

Singapore is working to reduce HFCs as part of a global effort to fight climate change.
