Decision 61/45

July 2010
Cost considerations surrounding financing HCFC phase-out including guidelines

The Executive Committee decided:

  1. To consider funding the conversion of component manufacturers only when the funding requests were submitted as part of an HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) or a sector plan under an HPMP, except for those projects originally submitted to the 61st or earlier meetings of the Executive Committee;
  2. That in cases where countries decided to include component manufacturers in their phase-out plans, to request bilateral and implementing agencies to provide, as part of their submission, information on the incremental operating costs of all refrigeration or air-conditioning equipment manufacturers included in the plan, as well as production and export data for compressors for the three years prior to the submissions; and
  3. To request the Secretariat to prepare a document, based on the relevant sections of document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/61/51, on the level of incremental costs related to retooling for manufacturing of tube-and-fin heat exchangers to be considered by the Executive Committee at its 62nd Meeting.
