Details	:	The Kigali Amendment officially came into effect for China in 2021. From July to September 2023, the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department issued a public consultation on the regulation and reduction of hydrofluorocarbons. In November 2023, the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment also issued the "2024 Total Quota Setting and Allocation Plan for Hydrofluorocarbons". With the global implementation of the HFC phase-down, a large variety of lower GWP alternatives and more energy efficient technologies have emerged, many of which are now commercially available in the global market and have increasingly been used in overseas countries. Hong Kong needs to catch up with the global trend to transit to these lowGWP alternatives. The transition to these next-generation technologies will not only contribute to the global efforts in combating climate change but also bring upon energy saving benefits to equipment users and thus enhance the competitiveness of our business. Mr. Gao will introduce CO2 technology and its applications under the topic of "Natural refrigerant refrigeration system - CO2 transcritical system", while reviewing successful cases of CO2 transcritical system applications in China and overseas.
