ELIGIBILITY (1)
DECISION 61/47 (b):
Confirms that the phase-out of
HCFC-141b contained in preblended polyol systems that were
imported and/or manufactured
domestically, and counted as
consumption under Article 7, was
eligible for assistance according to
existing guidelines;

ELIGIBILITY (2)
• NO ADVANCE PROJECTS
ANYMORE
• PROJECTS NEED TO BE
INCLUDED IN HPMP AND MEET
STRATEGY
• PROJECT FORMAT OPEN

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
• CURRENT FUNDING TRANCHE
LIMITED
• REPLENISHMENT COMPLETELY
OPEN
• EXPECT DELAY/REJECTION FOR
PROJECTS NOT NEEDED FOR
2013 COMPLIANCE AND FOR
AFTER 2015 COMPLIANCE

SUPPLY
1. NEED TO INCLUDE SUPPLIER IN
PROJECT DESIGN/IMPLEMENTATION
2. POTENTIAL NEED FOR TECHNOLOGY,
TRAINING AND FUNDING OF SUPPLIER
3. SUPPLIER MAY BE IN ANOTHER
COUNTRY
4. THIS CREATES COMPLICATIONS AND
INTERDEPENDENY OF PROGRAMS

THE ISSUE
PHASING OUT HCFCs AT DOWNSTREAM
USERS USING IMPORTED SYSTEMS
NEED ACTION IN THE COUTRY OF
EXPORT
PHASING OUT HCFCs AT SYSTEM
HOUSES NEED ACTION AT
DOWNSTREAM USERS INCLUDING
THOSE IN OTHER COUNTRIES

ACTION
•
STATUS
– Project submitted to the 62nd ExCom
•
TECHNOLOGY
– Methyl formate base for budget calculations
– Recipients allowed accepting other options if these options are
zero ODP and low GWP
– The MF based budget cost will be applied. Higher costs for the
account of the downstream user (or supplier)
•
IMPLEMENTATION
– The recipients to be divided into functional groups around their
supplier
– final choice of technology to be made together with the system
supplier
– UNDP to provide suppliers with technical information
– System suppliers in A5 countries are eligible for funding

16
ACTION
•
STATUS
– Project deferred to 63rd ExCom
•
TECHNOLOGY
– Methyl Formate (MF) base for budget calculations
– Recipients allowed other zero ODP/low GWP options
– Budget will remain. Higher costs for the account of the
downstream user (or supplier)
•
IMPLEMENTATION
– MF trials this year
– Suppliers informed and cooperation offered
– Final choice of technology to be made in January
– System suppliers in A5 countries eligible for funding

CONCLUSION
• AD HOC DECISIONS MADE FOR
CURRENT PROJECTS
• PROJECTS FOR SYSTEM HOUSES
AND DOWNSTREAM USERS NEED
COORDINATION
• CLOSER PROJECT COORDINATION
BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS NEEDED
