Title
UNIDO to help Iran phase-out ODS
VATIS UPDATE Part
Article body

United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to assist Islamic Republic of Iran in assessing impact of energy, environmental policies on industrial development. With regard to Montreal Protocol, with the assistance of UNIDO, the Government of Iran was one of the first to meet the 2015 HCFCs phase-out target. HCFCs are ozone depleting substances (ODS) which are utilized in everyday life, including in refrigerators and air conditioning devices.

In this regard, in an effort to integrate ozone-layer protection with industrial development, UNIDO introduced hydrocarbon technology in Iran’s polyurethane foam production. This technology protects the ozone layer and reduces the negative impact of polyurethane foam manufacturing on climate change. In addition, the project has created a number of jobs because the equipment used is entirely manufactured in Iran.
