According to the Nigerian Guardian, the Nigerian Federal Government, in collaboration with UNDP, has commissioned a pilot hydrocarbon refrigerant plant, in the village of Irolu in Ogun State.

Ibrahim Jibril, Minister of State in the Federal Ministry of Environment, said the project was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the current use of HCFCs with hydrocarbon-based technology.

The minister said the commissioning of the plant would be followed up by a well-structured training/certification programme for Nigerian refrigeration and air-conditioning technicians nationwide on the safe use of HC refrigerants in their applications.
