SINGAPORE: Three new grants aimed at encouraging companies to switch to water-cooled chillers and reduce the amount of hydrofluorocarbons they produce have been launched.

HFCs are a class of chemicals that are commonly used as refrigerants in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. When emitted into the environment, HFCs are much more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming.NEA has previously announced that it intends to restrict the supply of water-cooled chillers using high GWP refrigerants. This will begin from the fourth quarter of 2022.

"Climate change is an existential challenge for Singapore, which requires a whole-of-nation response, and efforts by all sectors to reduce emissions," said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu.
