PREPERATION OF HPMP IN INDIA Ozone Cell Government of India Ministry of Environment and Forests

VIENNA CONVENTION AND MONTREAL PROTOCOL The Vienna Convention for the protection of the Ozone Layer was signed in March 1985 . The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed on 16 September 1987 . India has Ratified all the Amendments to the Montreal Protocol

ACCELERATED PHASEOUT OF HCFCs The 19 th Meeting of Parties (MOP) held in Sept. 2007, in Montreal decided (Decision XIX/6) to advance the phase-out of production and consumption of HCFCs by 10 years for an early recovery of Ozone Layer

T IMELINE Baseline : average of 2009 and 2010 production and consumption Freeze : 2013 10 % reduction of baseline in 2015 35 % reduction of baseline in 2020 67.5 % reduction of baseline in 2025 100% phase-out in 2030 HCFC PHASE-OUT SCHEDULE – Article 5 Parties Allowing for servicing an annual average of 2.5% during the period 2030-2040

OVERALL OBJECTIVES Phase out Production and Consumption of HCFCs in accordance with Montreal Protocol phase-out schedule without any commercial and financial dislocations in the country Achieving compliance target set by the Montreal Protocol for stage-I - Establishment of base-line production and consumption sectors – an average of 2009 and 2010 for production and consumption respectively. - 2013 freeze - 10% reduction of baseline in 2015 Phase-out of production and consumption of HCFCs to achieve the Stage-II reduction targets: 2020, 2025 and total phase-out in 2030 with an allowance for servicing and annual average of 2.5% during the period 2030-2040.

BACKGROUND HCFCs are widely used chemicals. The applications include, Refrigeration & Air-conditioning, Foam blowing, Aerosols and Firefighting There are a number of chemicals which fall in this category like HCFC-22, HCFC-141b, HCHC-142b, HCFC-123, HCFC-225 and HCFC-124 All these chemicals are the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and are controlled by the Montreal Protocol in the schedule Annex C Group 1 Substances

KEY CHALLENGES IN PHASING-OUT OF HCFCs Period for Change-Over is Short especially for first stage reduction targets Approximately 30 to 40% reduction of the base line consumption in few years (2013/2015) Technical Options are still emerging, Available options may not be the long term Solutions HFCs are the main options to HCFC for most of the applications in refrigeration and air-conditioning HFCs are the potent Green House Gases (GHG) and Emissions of these gases are controlled under Kyoto Protocol

STRATEGY FOR MEETING CHELLENGES IN PHASING OUT HCFCs Roadmap has been developed with a long term vision, initiatives and action plan Policy instruments are being aligned to meet the needs of accelerated phase-out schedule of HCFCs Strengthening of Institutional Set-up to cater the needs of HCFC phase-out is in progress UNDP as Lead Agency in Association with UNEP,UNIDO, World Bank Govt. Germany (bilateral agency) is responsible for preparation of HPMP Preparation of HPMP was approved at the 56 th Ex-Com in Nov. 2008 The roadmap details are the part of agenda-Key feature are covered

POLICY SUPPORT INSTRUMENTS ACTIONS: Review of existing national policy instruments including ODS (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 & its amendments and align them to the needs of HCFC phase-out. Strengthening of institutional setup in the Ozone Cell – PMU and SPPU Review and strengthening of ODS control enforcement Measures and strengthening the Custom policies with regard to ODS to prevent illegal trade if any Review of existing fiscal incentives to promote non-ODS technologies for smooth transition from HCFCs to non-ODS technologies

INITIATIVES AND ACTIONS FOR MEETING THE STAGE-I PHASE-OUT TARGETS

AWARENESS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS ACTIONS: Identification of Stakeholders Initiation of stakeholder interactions at the regional and national level Sensitization of Stake holders and users towards Environmental Concerns Ensuring participation of key stakeholders – Industry/ Industry Associations, NGOs, Research Institutions, Concerned Ministries/ Departments, Defense, Space Research, Shipping, Indian Railways etc.

ESTABLISHING SUPPLY AND DEMAND SCENARIOS ACTIONS: Carry out Surveys and Reach-out Workshops at National and Regional levels Collection of data on HCFC production and consumption Establishing the overall growth rates of HCFCs consumption commensurate with National GDP and Economic growth Developing Demand and Supply Scenarios

SECTOR SPECIFIC STRATEGY ACTIONS: Sector Specific Strategy Groups have been formed which include: Industry Association (s), User Organizations, Research Institutions and other stakeholders Identification of Applications Addressing the Sector & Sub-Sectors Establishment of sector-wise/and/or sub-sector-wise growth rates Estimation of sector-specific consumption for the freeze year Assessment of application specific, energy efficient economically viable alternative technologies

INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRY SPECIFIC PROJECTS PREPERATION ACTIONS: Prioritization of the sub-sectors for Stage-I Phase-out targets Identification of eligible enterprises for MLF Assistance in various sub-sectors Creation interest among the industry partners through awareness to convert their manufacturing facilities to non-ODS at an early stage

SECTOR PHASE-OUT PLAN FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES ACTIONS: There are large number of Small and Medium Enterprises in the country using HCFCs Strategy for Reach-out to the Small/Medium Sector Identification of clusters of enterprises and assessment of their needs related to phase-out of HCFCs Demonstration of proven and adaptable Application Specific Alternative non-ODS technologies Technical and Financial Assistance through MLF funding mechanism for Conversion of manufacturing facilities and Operational Costs

SERVICING SECTOR PHASE-OUT PLAN ACTIONS: National survey for identification of refrigeration and air-conditioning servicing enterprises and technicians employed Assessment of training and equipment needs of refrigeration servicing enterprises Up-gradation of existing training network set-up under National CFC Phase-out Plan (NCCoPP) to cater to the needs of HCFC phase-out Developing strategy for providing training to minimize the use of HCFCs and adoption of alternative technologies

PRODUCTION SECTOR PHASE-OUT PLAN ACTIONS: Estimation of Base Line and Freeze Year HCFC-22 production Amendment of ODS regulations to align to the needs of Phase-out schedule as mentioned under “ National policy instruments” Establish link between Production and Consumption Sector Phase-out schedules

Summary of the Actions & Activities for Preparation of HPMP Stakeholder workshops have been organized since June 1998 Sectoral Working Groups Have been Formed in three major HCFC Consuming Sectors, viz., Foam Manufacturing, Refrigeration & Air-conditioning (RAC) Manufacturing and RAC Servicing Sectors Sectroral Working Groups Meeting was Organized in September 2009 Based on the outcomes of the Sectoral Working Groups meeting, a comprehensive ROADMAP was developed, The ROADMAP was launched by our Hon’ble Minister of Environment and Forests in October 2009

Summary of the Actions and Activities for Preparation of HPMP (Cont.) Industry Associations are being involved extensively in preparation of Sectoral Strategies. Indian Polyurethane Association (IPUA) is responsible for preparation of Foam Sector Strategies Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Manufacturing Association (RAMA) is responsible for preparation of RAC Manufacturing Sector Strategies Servicing Sector Group under the supervision of GTZ is working on Servicing Sector Strategies National Surveys are being carrying out Draft reports are expected to be available in June 2010 India is planning to submit the HPMP at the 62 nd Ex-Com
