Overview

We are looking at further measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act (1989).

We are seeking your views on how the use of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in the commercial and industrial refrigeration sector can be reduced.

Options being considered include restrictions on import and manufacture of new commercial refrigeration equipment using high GWP refrigerants, and restrictions on the import and use of R404A.

You can help by taking part in this survey, or by providing a written submission on this issue. Your feedback will help us develop policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support Australia’s commercial and industrial refrigeration industry.

To have your say:

  • read the consultation paper

  • take the survey, and/ or

  • upload a document.

Submit your feedback by 5pm (AEST) Thursday, 8 August 2024.
