Background:
Kazakhstan has unique possibilities for development of technologies without use of ozone depleting substances. Industrial development affects climate change and, in general, the environmental situation in the country. Therefore, for the development of the national economy it is necessary to focus on reducing HCFC and use of energy-efficient technologies without ODS for energy conservation practice in the country, reduce of greenhouse gas emissions and enhance national environmental values by increasing knowledge about the economic and environmental benefits of energy-efficient technologies without using ozone-depleting substances.
Resulting from this FSP “HCFC Phase-out in Kazakhstan through Promotion of zero ODS low GWP Energy Efficient Technologies”, UNDP/GEF assisted Kazakhstan in implementation of adopted HCFC phase-out strategies, including improvement of national ODS Phase-out legislations, addressed capacity development and investment assistance for ODS users, as well as demonstration of an alternative and energy efficient technologies using natural ODS-free and Low GWP refrigerants. Started establishment of ODS re-use systems to reduce dependence on imported ODS during the transition to non-ODS technologies, and ODS waste management systems, which provided implementation of country specific measures and activities needed for the partner countries to stay in compliance with the Montreal Protocol’s obligations.
As a follow-up stage, and to help reach Kazakhstan 2020 phase-out targets and complete its HCFC phase-out strategy, UNDP is initiating new UNDP-GEF Project “HCFC Phase-out in Kazakhstan through Promotion of zero ODS low GWP Energy Efficient Technologies” and development of the relevant Project Document to formulate technical assistance and reinforcing achievements of Kazakhstan in this area. The new Project Document should include technical assistance for strengthening national capacity in the process of total phase-out of ozone-depleting substances, and transition to non-ODS and low GWP technologies, institutional regulatory components and, further improvement of the national capacity on ODS re-use and ODS waste management. Then, the Project Document will be submitted for the consideration of the GEF.
