Having considered the recommendation of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/41/14, paragraph 147), the Executive Committee decided:
- To take note of the report on the follow-up study on liquid carbon dioxide (LCD) technology as contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/41/65 and Add.1; and
- That any future projects for LCD technology would have to be developed taking fully into consideration:
- the ability of the LCD technology to produce the specific foam grades manufactured by the enterprise;
- the compatibility between the equipment provided by the LCD technology supplier and the equipment in place in the enterprise;
- the need for long-term technical support beyond the currently-defined completion date of the project;
- having regard to the technical constraints mentioned in part I of document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/41/65, the ability of LCD technology to contribute to reductions in CFC-11 consumption soon enough to meet the schedules in relevant national CFC phase-out plans; and
- The need for countries to provide written confirmation that they understood the possible problems with the application of the technology.
