The city of Shenzhen is a pioneering the commercial application of hydrocarbon refrigerants to replace HCFCs in air conditioning. Market demand for hydrocarbon refrigerants is thus growing fast.
In March 2012, the Chinese media announced that the city of Shenzhen had been identified by UNEP and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China (MEP) as the first pilot city in China to promote environmentally friendly air conditioners using hydrocarbon refrigerants. Shenzen hotels are reporting energy savings of up to 30% following the switch to hydrocarbons.
In 2011, Shenzhen Environment Protection Bureau initiated China's first training programme on hydrocarbon technologies and R22 replacement for air-conditioning technicians. The aim of the programme is to raise awareness regarding hydrocarbon refrigerants and to address concerns over safety.
