MARKET TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME

1
MARKET TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME
Supporting UK Government policy on sustainable
products

• All major domestic appliances
• Traded goods in commercial sector
• 12 Sectors and 27 Product Categories
• 75 of UK Electricity Consumption

2
MTP Operating characteristics

• Collecting information. Stock, sales, usage and
  consumption data on different product categories
  that use large amount of energy and water.
• Building evidence base. Collected information is
  used to model future consumption projections.
  Three scenarios Reference Policy
  EBP (Earliest Best Practice)
• Reference scenario existing market trends and
  adopted policy measures.
• Policy scenario impact of proposed/future
  feasible policy measures.
• EBP if market is to take up the most effective
  option.
• Policy actions. Identifying specific policy
  actions required to achieve particular product
  scenarios (Ref, P, EBP).
• Working with industry and other stakeholders.
  Evidence base and policy actions developed by
  consensus involving all stakeholders to improve
  its robustness, promote the policy measures and
  obtain feedback.

Main Policy Actions

• Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme.
• Financial incentives (100 first year
  capital allowance) available for products on the
  Energy Technology List. Encourage end users to
  buy and suppliers/ manufacturers to design energy
  efficient products.
• gtgtgt Estimated energy savings (Refrigeration) gtgtgt
  1.4 TWh (2004/5)
• - Technology Review currently being
  undertaken
• Display cabinets Service cabinets
  Liquid chillers
• Possible introduction of new thresholds and
  extension of product ranges.
• - Possible future introduction of new products
• (e.g. vending machines, clod rooms)

Eurovent Energy Efficiency Classification.
Voluntary classification for chillers that
classifies products from Eurovent
Class A" to Eurovent Class G". gtgtgt
(5 Class A / 7 Class G) Classes displayed in
Eurovent Directory of Certified products.
Future steps to consider - Remove the least
efficient products
- Expansion of the scheme (display cabinets)

• EuP Directive.
• Eco design requirements to address environmental
  effects of energy using products through the
  whole life cycle. Products must meet the set
  criteria in order to be placed on the market.
• - Fourteen preparatory studies underway
• (Preparatory Study Group 12 BIO Intelligent
  Services)
• gtProduct Specific Directive for commercial
  refrigerators and freezerslt
• Output eligibility criteria, eco design
  criteria, performance criteria.
• 1. Eligibility criteria which product
  categories will be included (main candidates
  liquid chillers, retail cabinets, vending
  machines).
• 2. Eco design criteria sets the requirements
  for the whole life cycle (consumed raw material,
  packaging, transport, operation/energy use,
  disposal)
• 3. Performance criteria analyse/recommend
  minimum performance thresholds for the proposed
  product categories.
• Timescale Study completed (July 2007) Adopted
  by Commission (2008)

11
Quick Win Central Government departments
must apply minimum environmental
standards when purchasing certain types of
products. 27 product categories
currently on the list. Expansion of the list is
being considered and mechanism is developed to
promote products from candidate to fully
accepted Refrigeration products on the
list - display cabinets - cellar cooling -
air cooled condensers - thermal screens

• Minimum Standards
• Discourage/eliminate production of the worst
  performing products.
• Currently not adopted in UK refrigeration sector
• gtgtgt Two main standards for possible future
  consideration gtgtgt
• MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard)
• Product must exceed the minimum threshold.
• Product with energy efficiency below the
  threshold are taken off the market
• (Adopted in Australia, Canada, USA)
• Top Runner Standard
• Weighted average must exceed the target
  threshold.
• Targets set based on top performing products.
  Products below the target can be sold provided
  that proportional quantity of higher efficiency
  products is also sold, so that the overall
  weighted average is above the target.
• (Introduced in Japan)
