In 2012, the year before the Montreal Protocol phase-out obligations began, it imported more than 18,000 metric tons. One of the priorities of the government is to introduce environment-friendly production practices in Thailand&#8217;s industry, in line with the Montreal Protocol\u2019s goal of shifting away from the use of and manufacturing with these harmful substances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The grant from the World Bank\u2019s Ozone Projects Trust Fund, financed by the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol, is supporting the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.worldbank.org\/en\/projects-operations\/project-detail\/P165235\">second phase of the Thailand HCFC Phase-out Project<\/a>\u00a02020 to 2023.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cThe successful first phase already helped Thailand\u2019s air conditioning manufacturing sector to end the use of HCFCs,\u201d said\u00a0Viraj Vithoontien, World Bank Lead Environment Specialist,<em>\u00a0\u201c<\/em>The second phase will focus assistance on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in order to produce HCFC-free foam insulation.\u201d<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The project will also help refrigeration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csregypt.com\/en\/doubling-energy-efficiency-of-air-conditioners-to-save-up-to-2-9-trillion-by-2050\/\">air-conditioning<\/a> technicians maintain and install ozone- and climate-friendly cooling appliances and equipment, in line with good international practice, and support skills training for government agencies. These activities will indirectly improve energy efficiency in cooling applications, which will contribute to reduced emissions and decreased peak demand for electricity. Consumers will benefit from lower electricity cost. In addition, the project aims to continue to raise consumers\u2019 awareness about energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Underpinning the HCFC Phase-out Project is an enduring World Bank partnership with Thailand\u2019s government and private sector. Since 1994, the partnership has provided more than $64 million in grant funding to help industries reduce ozone-depleting substances used in refrigeration, air-conditioning, foam manufacturing, aerosol production, and fire suppression.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The World Bank has worked closely with Thailand\u2019s private sector to facilitate transfer of new ozone- and climate-friendly technologies and has provided policy and technical advice to government agencies to create the enabling environment for the shift to these new technologies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<em>\u201c<\/em>Thailand\u2019s success in reducing HCFCs is a testament to its commitment to embrace green industry and effectively address climate change,\u201d said<em>\u00a0<\/em>Birgit Hansl, World Bank Country Manager for Thailand.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>\u201c<\/em>Through our strong partnership, Thailand has made great strides to phase out ozone-depleting substances, avoiding emissions of the equivalent of 38 million tons of carbon dioxide, analogous to taking 8 million passenger cars off the road or shutting down ten coal-fired power plants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Bank is scheduled to extend a $5 million grant to Thailand in order to encourage the Asian state to adopt more eco-friendly production practices in addition to helping it to reduce by over 60 percent the import and use of ozone-depleting chemicals by 2023.
