  7. ODS Waste Management MOP and ExCom decisions Kasper Koefoed Portfolio Manager Montreal Protocol Unit - UNDP United Nations Development Programme

  8. MOP decision XX/7 Environmentally Sound Management of Banks of Ozone Depleting substances. To invite Parties, international funding agencies, including the Multilateral Fund and the Global Environment Facility, and other interested agents to enable practical solutions for the purpose of gaining better knowledge on mitigating ozone-depleting substance emissions and destroying ozonedepleting substance banks, and on costs related to the collection, transportation, storage and destruction of ozone depleting substances, notably in Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol; ……………………….

  9. ExCom 57 – Decision 57/7 • Following the MOP XX/7 the ExCom took the decision to approve PRP funds for 7 countries: • Brazil (UNDP) • Ghana (UNDP) • Indonesia (World Bank) • Mexico (UNIDO) • Philippines (World Bank) • Turkey (UNIDO) • Regional Asian Pacific (Japan) • The ExCom requested the MLFS to prepare draft guidelines for ODS Waste Management pilots for ExCom 58.

  10. ExCom 58 Decision 58/19 The Executive Committee approved interim guidelines for the funding of demonstration projects for the disposal of ODS in accordance with decision XX/7 (2) of the Meeting of the Parties.

  11. ExCom 58 The Multilateral Fund will fund a limited number of demonstration projects under the following conditions: A limited number of demonstration projects for ODS disposal related to decision XX/7 (2), covering aspects not yet covered by other demonstration projects, will be considered only at the 59th Meeting for project preparation funding; The funding would be limited to a maximum level of up to US $13.2/kg of ODS to be destroyed for non-LVC countries, on the understanding that this would be based on expectation of high start-up cost for these new activities, and would not constitute a precedent. Should the project not foresee activities related to all three areas (transport, storage and destruction), this threshold would be adjusted accordingly; No funding would be available for the collection of ODS, except as a contribution to the monitoring of the sources of the ODS for an already existing, separately funded, collection effort for CFCs; For the disposal of halon and for the disposal of CTC, funding would be provided for a maximum of one demonstration project each, provided the respective projects have an important demonstration value;

  12. ExCom 59 • At the 59th meeting the following PRP request got approved: • Algeria (UNIDO) • China (UNIDO) • Colombia (UNDP) • Cuba (UNDP) • Nepal (UNEP) • Nigeria (UNIDO) – ExCom 60 • Lebanon (UNIDO) – ExCom 61 • India (UNDP) – ExCom 61
