Cost-effectiveness of options to reduce ozone-depleting substances: chillers and motor-vehicle air conditioners.

Summary

The incremental cost of phasing out ODSs in these two sectors could be much greater for some options than for others, while, at the same time, certain options may be so cost-effective as to be ineligible for financing from the Multilateral Fund. To explain why this is the case and how the Fund's resources might best be spent in these sectors, the report analyzes the factors that drive incremental costs. Among the conclusions: the energy efficiency change associated with chiller conversion or replacement project is, by far, the most important determinant of the project's cost-effectiveness; due to later ODS phase-out dates, most chiller conversions in developing countries are unnecessary; retrofits in vehicle air conditioners are not cost-effective; funding of vehicle AC recycling in developing countries should normally go to where wages are highest and refrigerant costs lowest.
