Compliance scenario in the face of rising HCFCs

2007 08 (09 10) 11 121.4 6.9 8.6 10.7 frz 9.6

How will you get to 9.6 tonnes in 2013?

Start mandating use of alternatives when new systems installed? Stop allowing imports of new HCFC systems? Retrofit systems?

Limiting imports to required level will be one key way of ensuring compliance – for that you need robust licencing

Process Agents

Process agents are chemicals used as a catalyst in the production of other chemicals/products (eg: chlorinated rubber and endosulfin). Often, most ODS is destroyed in the process – sometimes emissions.

Decision XXII/8 called for the TEAP to break out process agent uses by country – and noted that only a couple A5 parties use ODS as process agents

XXI/3 asked for all countries to ensure that they have reported, at least once, to say they do not use ODS as a process agent. We sent out a letter on that with a form for you to fill in - it is important to send it back.

Decision XXII/3 - Replenishment

The Parties agreed terms of reference for a TEAP study on the level of funding needed from 2012-2014. Study to be distributed in June timeframe

OEWG will discuss this in Bangkok, and is likely to request TEAP to do a bit more analysis

Parties will decide on the agreed level of funding when they meet in Bali in November

Replenishment contact group seems prestigious, but it is really hard going. You may want to consider representation

XXII/2 – Evaluation of the Financial Mechanism

Parties agreed to terms of reference for an evaluation of the financial mechanism of the Montreal Protocol. The agreed group of Parties will review bids for the study in March, and the selected consultant will begin work on the study this year.

Report will be submitted to the Parties next year.

Decisions XXII/7 Lab and analytical use exemption

Non A5s have had this use exempted for more than a decade, and have worked to develop alternatives for almost all of these uses. Since there are alternatives for almost all uses, TEAP has recommended getting rid of the exemptions for all but a couple uses.

XXII/7 extends the full exemption to A5s only until this December, and TEAP is to analyze A5 needs.

Do any of your labs use ODS to perform testing??? Do you still need to use ODS? You should check. TEAP study to be reviewed in BKK

MOP did not take a decision on ODS destruction; main MOP did not take a decision on ODS destruction; main point of disagreement seemed to be a fundamental point of disagreement seemed to be a fundamental difference of views – should destruction be covered in difference of views – should destruction be covered in full by the MLF, OR, since not needed for compliance, full by the MLF, OR, since not needed for compliance, should other sources of money be found/MLF role should other sources of money be found/MLF role limited to demonstration projects and information efforts limited to demonstration projects and information efforts

XXII/9 – HCFCs in preblended polyol

Historically, imports of ODS contained in preblended polyol were not counted as consumption under the Montreal Protocol

Last year, the Excom took a decision agreeing to fund the phaseout of consumption of HCFCs in preblended polyol under specific conditions

It was understood that the Excom decision would not affect the historic view that ODS in polyols was not to be counted as consumption. Bottom line: No need to report polyol to the ozone secretariat – but eligible for MLF funding
