Singapore is tightening regulations on the use of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants commonly found in supermarkets and vehicles. In an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions and meet its climate targets, the nation is transitioning toward more environmentally friendly cooling alternatives. These new measures, led by the National Environment Agency, will phase out harmful hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in commercial refrigeration units and vehicle air conditioning systems, encouraging businesses and consumers to adopt sustainable technologies.
- The National Environment Agency of Singapore is implementing stricter controls on high-GWP refrigerants.
- The regulations specifically target commercial refrigeration systems in supermarkets and motor vehicle air conditioning units.

Harampore game over
Tony Blair himself is calling on the UK to end the net zero madness but SG with a tiny population thinks it can make a dent in global GHG. Peak cognitive dissonance.
It just means increasing the price 😂😂😂
Isn't the AI Data centre using high refrigerants 😂😂😂
Trap heat?
How much can a tiny country create such 'trapping heat'.
Just an excuse to increase prices.
On EVERYTHING!
Who did the locals voted for anyway?🤭
The single biggest contributor to our environment is happening online every day.
They are burning coal and we are paying the Carbon Taxes with no guarantee that limiting global warming to 2°C will succeed.
What kind of logic governance is this?
The reason why we having climate change today is not because of new flows of greenhouse gas emissions from China and India, is because of what the western countries have put in the atmosphere since the western industrial revolution [Ref: Kishore M in AGT]
