Emission limits for cooling systems such as air conditioners (ACs) and refrigerators will be expanded to large-scale, commercial systems, as well as systems in vehicles.
The National Environmental Agency (NEA) stated that this move will help reduce high greenhouse gas emissions from these systems, enabling Singapore to achieve its climate goals by 2030.
From July 2027, new centralised commercial fridges, typically used in supermarkets, must use more environmentally friendly refrigerants capped at a global warming potential (GWP) of 150, aligning with standards in Europe and Japan.
