  1. INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO HPMP APPROVALS AND TECHNOLOGY

  2. BACKGROUND • HPMP content guidelines adopted through ExCom Decision 54/39 and Document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/54/59, Annex-XIX) • HPMP funding guidelines adopted through ExCom Decision 60/44 (to be reviewed in 2013) • ExCom guidance briefly covers: • Substances to be prioritized (higher ODP) • Sectors to be prioritized (Foams) • How HPMPs should be prepared including level of information expected • Maximum funding to be provided

  3. HPMPs APPROVED SO FAR • Globally about 23 A5 countries account for over 93% of the HCFC consumption • HPMPs for about 81 (out of the 145) A5 countries approved so far • Major A5 countries with HPMPs approved include: Brazil, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Vietnam • Major A5 countries with HPMPs not yet approved include: Egypt, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey

  4. TECHNOLOGY ISSUES • MOP Decision XIX/6 urges parties to select technologies for replacing HCFCs, that minimize adverse impacts on environment, health and safety • The decision also asks ExCom to prioritize activities for funding that are cost-effective and maximize climate benefits taking into account national circumstances • Basically, the spirit of MOP Decision XIX/6, is that alternative technologies for HCFCs, should be better for environment, health and safety

  5. TECHNOLOGY ISSUES (CONT’D) • Over 75% of the global consumption of HCFCs in metric tonnes is by HCFC-22 (R-22) • HCFC-22 is predominantly used as a refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment • Air-conditioners have become a part of daily life for large sections of populations in developing countries • Large proportion of HCFC-141b consumption, is as a blowing agent in PU foams. A significant proportion of that consumption in developing countries is in SMEs and rigid polyurethane foams

  6. TECHNOLOGY ISSUES (CONT’D) • Significant portion of the HCFC-141b and HCFC-22 consumption (in manufacturing in developing countries), is in appliances such as air-conditioners and refrigerators • Appliances are a significant source of energy consumption in households and other buildings • Energy costs are increasing in developing countries • Energy-efficiency is an important consideration in selecting alternatives to HCFC-141b and HCFC-22 • Health (toxicity) and Safety (flammability) are other important considerations
