The ozone layer is often destroyed by greenhouse gases and gases that we have in our equipment. Therefore, the import of equipment that uses these hydrochlorofluorocarbon gases will be prohibited.
The declaration was expressed within the framework of the meeting of officials from English-speaking African countries, which brought together in Maputo staff from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Health, Interior, Industry and Commerce, Minerals and Energy. Currently, refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners in use in the country work with gases R134a, R404A, R406A, R407c, R408A, and R410A, which are considered destructive and harmful in the context of climate change.
As an alternative, African and regional governments will only allow the import of refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners that work with gases R290 and R744. In the industrial sector, R717 gas, which is considered climate-friendly, will be used. Mozambique has 68 companies licensed to import gases for refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
