Managing ODS Banks
Capacity Development:
• Survey on the location, size
and type of ODS banks.
• Prioritizing replacement
programmes.
Technical Aspects:
• Collection of contaminated
ODS logistics for storage and
transportation.
• Selection of ODS disposal
technologies and associated
costs.

ODS Management..
The refrigeration /Air conditioners &
the foam sector warrants the
most attention in
terms of developing
ODS end-of-life
management
strategies
in Article 5 countries.

Impact of existing ODS Banks
ODS Banks must be recovered and destroyed
before their emissions.
Projected ODS Banks Emissions, 2009-2015 is 6
Emissions, Billion Tons Co2 Equivalent

•ODS can be thousand times more powerful then Co2 at
trapping heat in the atmosphere .

Recovery of ODS Banks
Identification of
Products, equipment
containing ODS
Firms
should take responsibility to buy
equipments (containing ODS).
Engaging Scrap Dealers to collect equipments
containing ODS and pay them “x” amount per
equipment.

Recovery
Banks
Recovery of
of ODS
ODS Banks..
•In India equipments Containing ODS such as
appliances/ Refrigerators are normally sold or
gifted and only dumped at
a very later stage, so there
will also be requirement
of giving some incentive
to person holding such
equipments.

Recovery
Banks
Recovery of
of ODS
ODS Banks..
Companies manufacturing Foam products, such
as refrigerators, Panels, appliances generate lot
of Foam waste, which is presently going out as
solid waste, ultimately crushed and the ODS is
released in to the atmosphere,
as there are no recovery and
destruction facilities available
in
developing
countries
including India.
9
Awareness and Education
•There is a need to educate and create awareness
that venting of ODS not only depletes the ozone
layer but also creates global warming.
• It is also important to provide training and
conduct outreach efforts for those who deal with
equipment at end of life.
10
Program Funding and Economic Incentives
Companies require funding to put up plant and
machinery used specifically for recovery & destruction
of ODS Banks.
There is also a need to provide incentives to
the enterprises dealing in recovery and
destruction of ODS.
11
Indian Perspective
In India the management of
used/unwanted ODS is still
in its nascent stage, with
initial programs for training
technicians and disbursing
ODS recovery equipment is
underway, but procedures
for
the
collection,
reclamation, and destruction
of ODS are not yet
established.
12
Indian Perspective
Commercial
Firms in
developing
countries
believe that there is a need
to put up a demo project
for
recovery
and
destruction of ODS Banks.
Indian industry is ready to implement the
recovery and destruction of ODS Banks.
13
Demonstration Project
There is a need to establish a Multi-ODS destruction
facility in a country like India that would ensure
environmentally sound disposal of unwanted ODSs,
 As
the appliances and equipment containing ODS
banks are scattered all over the country, there is a need
to establish a cost effective scheme to collect and
transport ODS to the destruction sites,
The
demonstration project of this nature will
establish Technical ,Financial and Management Model
for sustainable operation of destruction facilities,
14
Motivation among the Institutional Users
in the Country
 The
Indian Railways is currently implementing an
aggressive programme to retrofit its CFC-12 based airconditioning systems for rail cars which provide a large
quantity of unwanted ODS,
They
had earlier been provided Training and some
equipment support under the Servicing Sector project in
India for proper recovery and even reclamation of ODS,
In
addition, there is a possibility in other public sector
undertakings as well as the Defense sector to have similar
approach for equipment retrofitting and ODS collecting
programmes.
15
Energy Efficiency Leveling Programme as
Deriver
 India
has recently introduced mandatory Energy
Efficiency Leveling Programme for refrigeration and Airconditioning Equipment,
It
is likely to act as deriver for the
appliance
replacement programmes in response to this initiatives as
well as saving in energy consumption ,
the
waste stream flow from CFC and HCFC banks in
appliances and equipment is likely to be accelerated.
16
Estimated CFC Banks in India
 Refrigerant Banks:
Refrigeration Appliances:
ODP tonnes
4000-6000
Mobile A/C and other vehicle A/C:
1500-2500
Chillers:
1000-1500
Transport Refrigeration:
 Food Processing and others:
TOTAL:
CFC Bank in Foams:
Appliances:
Other Insulating Foams:
TOTAL
500-1000
1500-2000
8500-13000
16000-24000
10000- 25000
26000-49000
Note: This does not include
Banks of HCFCs and Halons
17
Business Model
Development of business model covering:







Establishing overall costs and investments needed
Assessing operational costs
Fund flows
Structuring the financing requirements
Projected revenue if any
Investment returns analysis
Management arrangements
18
Business Perspective
In India the phase out of ODSs has been very
successful as both financial and technical
assistance were received from the MLF.

Similarly Indian industry
believes
that
the
Recovery & Destruction
of ODS Banks can also
become a success if both
financial and technical
assistance are provided.
19
Business Perspective..
As
there are no data available on the ODS
banks in the country, there is a need to
establish a reliable estimate of ODS banks sub
sector wise.
 The
Business units
who participate in this
program should also be
recognized and rewarded.
Manufacturing
companies engaged in this
programme should be exempted from
direct/indirect Taxes.
20
Need Of The Day
Environment
ODS phase out can
not be complete
unless recovery
and destruction of
ODS banks are
implemented.
