Vietnam issues national plan to eliminate ozone-depleting substances
Vietnam will promote the transition to technologies that utilise substances with low or zero global warming potential, and roll out sustainable cooling solutions to cut emissions by 11.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2045 under a national plan on the management and elimination of ozone-depleting substances signed by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on June 11.
The plan aims at effectively managing and gradually eliminating the substances in line with the Montreal Protocol. Accordingly, the country will honour the commitment on being free of products that contain or are made from bromochloromethane, carbon tetrachloride (CTC), CFC, Halon, HBFC, methyl chloroform, HCFC 141b, and will not import other HCFCs from 2040.
