Kuala Lampur, May 27 -- KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 - Singapore will extend emission limits for air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment to large commercial refrigeration systems and vehicle air-conditioning over the next two years, according to The Straits Times.

In a statement today, Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) said the move, which includes a ban on new refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment with high greenhouse gas emissions for these systems, is aimed at helping the country meet its climate targets for 2030.

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems traditionally use hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gases, which can be hundreds to thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming.
