New production line not yet relevant to net sales in Poland. Request from Swiss government to transition natural gas to heating oil, where feasible. The management of SF6 emissions in Switzerland and China by monitoring and adapting measures is ongoing. In addition, district heating (supplied by the municipal utilities with an annually changing share of energy sources) at the Pfäffikon site in Switzerland was supplied with a higher CO2 emission factor. Additionally the changes of the refrigerants emissions into air are included. |
