China Recommended Catalogue of Alternatives to Ozone-Depleting Substances

The China Recommended Catalogue of Alternatives to Ozone-Depleting Substances was jointly formulated by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of the People's Republic of China in accordance with the provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Ozone-Depleting Substances." It aims to promote the phase-out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and guide industries toward selecting green and low-carbon alternatives. The list specifies the application types and primary application fields of the substituted substances and their substitutes. It recommends a total of 23 substitutes for three types of HCFCs, covering categories such as refrigerants, foaming agents, and cleaning agents, while indicating the Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) of each substitute.
