Guarding the ozone layer, one refrigerant at a time.
The Ozone Unit leads Seychelles' compliance with the Montreal Protocol — regulating ozone-depleting substances, supporting the RAC sector, and phasing down HFCs under the Kigali Amendment.
A small team with an outsized mandate.
The Ozone Unit sits within the Department of Energy and Climate Change Affairs at MECENR. We license and monitor the import of ozone-depleting substances and HFCs, support refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) technicians with training and certification pathways, and represent Seychelles at regional and international ozone forums.
