For the 2018 financial year, the Ministry asked for JPY 9.4 billion (EUR 72 million). For the 2019 financial year, JPY 8.1 billion (EUR 61 million) have been asked.

The stated goal of the subsidy is to encourage the “shift to natural refrigerants […] and to widely promote the use of energy-efficient equipment”
