The Initiative on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management (IFL) was launched by Japan and partner governments, international organizations, as well as the private sector to address the issue of “refrigerant bank”. The life cycle refrigerant management (LRM) significantly contributes to climate change mitigation, while bringing co-benefits of energy efficiency, circular economy, and green job creation, etc.

Introduction -What is the IFL?
Concept on the Initiative on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management

With improvements in quality of life, health, and food safety, the demand for air conditioners and refrigerators, as well as the demand for cold chain logistics are rapidly increasing. At the same time, the demand and consumption of refrigerants to power these systems are also increasing rapidly. From the perspective of climate change prevention, there is an urgent need to introduce appropriate policies and technologies, and to develop related infrastructure.
