The Technology Development Foundation of Turkey (TTGV) has been given the responsibility for identifying and preparing investment projects for Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) phase-out in all of the ODS consuming sector; informing, particularly small and medium sized enterprises (SME's), of the requirement to phase-out ODS use and the technology options and assistance available to them to switch to alternatives; prepare demonstration projects to further assist in providing information on phase-out possibilities in each sector; supervising and monitoring the sub-projects.
The aim of this project is to assist ODS using industries to effective and efficient phase out of ODS through the adoption of policy, technological and monitoring measures. In order to achieve such objectives, TTGV is responsible on one hand, for the selection of demonstration projects to develop alternatives to enhance a smooth transition for small and medium enterprises to non-ODS using technologies, and on the other, to develop country projects for large scale ODS users.

Of these projects, distribution on sectors is like 12 from refrigeration, 12 from foam, 3 is from MeBr (Agriculture), 3 from solvent and 1 from Aerosol sectors. Of this project, "Refrigeration ODS Phase out Sector Plan" covers full conversion of refrigeration sector with a total budget of 9 Million USD and highly important for refrigeration sector phase-out activities.
