The first domestic 500 tons/year HFC-23 decomposition Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project, jointly established by Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd. and a Japanese partner, recently held a production handover ceremony, marking the official transfer of operational responsibilities to Juhua. As of September 7, the facility has successfully decomposed 12 tons of trifluoromethane (HFC-23), signaling its entry into full-scale operation.
Juhua, a leading fluorine chemical company in China, became the first to officially implement a CO2 emissions trading program. The project was launched on March 10 this year, with a successful commissioning test completed on August 1. From August 10 to November 11, it passed the initial verification by the United Nations, confirming that it meets all international CDM standards and is now eligible to generate certified emission reductions.
The clean development mechanism in the chemical industry primarily focuses on reducing HFC-23, a potent greenhouse gas produced as a by-product during the manufacturing of refrigerant HCFC-22. With a global warming potential 11,700 times greater than carbon dioxide, HFC-23 is a major environmental concern. Juhua currently operates three sets of HFC-22 production units, and the CDM project involves one 15,000 tons/year unit developed in collaboration with Japan. This advanced technology enables the safe decomposition of HFC-23 into carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and hydrochloric acid, significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
According to estimates, Juhua’s annual HFC-23 decomposition project is equivalent to reducing approximately 5.62 million tons of CO2 emissions. Over seven years, starting from 2007, Japan will receive 40 million tons of emission credits. During the project’s operation, Juhua is expected to earn nearly 50 million yuan annually from CO2 reduction benefits. Additionally, the company is already planning its second CDM project, further demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development and environmental responsibility.
