Tunisian Air Conditioners and Energy Saving
The article pertains to Tunisia's national efforts to reduce the use of ozone-depleting substances and lower greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the cooling and air conditioning sector. Through the organization of a national seminar on the occasion of the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Tunisian Ministry of Environment reviewed the ongoing plan to achieve these goals. This plan includes switching manufacturing lines for air conditioners to technologies that rely on the low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) gas R32, reducing the import and use of HCFCs by 70% by 2025, and freezing HFC consumption at 23.8% by 2030. Additionally, new energy-efficient air conditioners that use environmentally friendly gases were showcased, with the expectation that their adoption and replacement of current units will significantly decrease energy consumption. Currently, there are about 4 million air conditioners in the country, and these new models could reduce energy use during the summer by the equivalent of 600,000 units. Measures also include enhancing technicians' skills and developing technology within the sector to contribute to climate protection and emission reductions.
