Oil and Environment Minister and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs Dr Mohammed Bin Daina yesterday inaugurated an international workshop on the availability of air conditioning technologies in high-temperature countries, organised by the Supreme Council for the Environment (SCE).
The minister noted that the workshop follows the ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol by most GCC countries, committing them to a gradual reduction in the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as refrigerants in cooling and air conditioning systems .
