1 United Nations Forum on Climate Change Mitigation, Fuel Efficiency and Sustainable Urban Transport Korea Press Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea 6-7 March 2 Reducing the climate impacts of mobile air conditioning Comparison of global warming effects among, R-744( ), and HFO-234yf by TWPG, CWP, and analyses Akira Sekiya National Institute ofadvanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Background and targets Climate Change Mitigation is the most important issue for environment. Target (UNFCCC): stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere Fuel Efficiency and Sustainable Urban Transport Wide range of technologies are necessary. Power source, Urban system, Need to be analyzed by adequate methods. Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) High GWP refrigerants have been used, however they have good properties in terms of energy saving. History of refrigerants for MAC system GWP energy use CFC- HFO-234yf HFC-52a R-744(CO 2 ) (GWP) 4,75, (energy use) small higher than 34a large (status) phased out in current due to ODS use under R&D -- under R&D Comparison of environmental acceptability as refrigerant system is necessary

Warming Effects Indirect (Fuel Efficiency) Direct (Refrigerant) >> HFO-234yf > >> HFO-234yf > ) Use JAMA s LCCP data for MAC (Mobile Air Conditioning) system. 2) Not only GWP, but also new indicators, TWPG, TTPG, CWP, and are used for the evaluation ation of global warming. 3) The most important technology is discussed by comparing these results.

7 Summary What is GWP, TWPG, CWP and? Evaluation results by TWPG, CWP and using JAMA s LCCP data GWP Evaluation results of Compact Car (.5L Gasoline engine) >>> >> HFO-234yf Evaluation of future warming Not available Effects of recovery on total warming significant TWPG, CWP, >>> > HFO-234yf >>> HFO-234yf very small results agree with those of TWPG, TTPG and CWP. Sustainable MAC refrigerant: HFO-234yf LCCP by GWP shows only one side of global warming. We may lead to serious problems in our future environment if we examine this matter with limited indicators, like GWP only. Let s study the global warming using adequate and diverse evaluation methods
