  1. Montreal Protocol HFC Management Workshop Paris July 2014

  2. The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy • Industry coalition since 1980 • More than three decades of responsible leadership in ozone production and climate change policy • Represents producers of fluorocarbons and industry sectors that manufacture products containing or utilizing fluorocarbons • Organized originally to address ozone protection • Transitioned to addressing fluorocarbon issues as they related to climate change • Currently composed of manufacturers and businesses, including their trade associations • www.alliancepolicy.org

  4. Industry’s Keys to a Successful Phasedown • Montreal Protocol success due to steady process and proven methodology • Science-based approach • Guided by economic and technical feasibility to assure performance • Consideration of special financial and policy needs of Article 5 countries • Global HFC cap and phasedown is preferable to regional or sub-regional regulation for avoiding disruptions in industry’s ability to provide critical consumer products • Complexities of an HFC phasedown require a unified, global approach • Predictability & regulatory consistency are key • Montreal Protocol process and institutions have worked well and provide the best opportunity for: • fair consideration of the technical and economic issues associated with reducing HFC GWP contributions • developing manageable, feasible and sustainable proposals • funding for Article 5 countries • Phasedown schedule • Include targets guided by continuing technology reviews • Take in to account the need for servicing the equipment base • Provide appropriate accommodations for Article 5 countries • Global refrigerant management efforts are critical • Bank of installed base is approximately 20 GtCO2eq (CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs)
