The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Peru for the period 2023–2029 to reduce, by 2029, HFC consumption by 10 per cent of the country’s baseline, in the amount of US $628,998, plus agency support costs of US $44,030, for UNDP, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex LVII to the present report;
- To note:
- That the Government of Peru would establish its starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in HFC consumption on the basis of guidance provided by the Executive Committee;
- That, once the cost guidelines for HFC phase-down had been agreed by the Executive Committee, the reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding would be determined in accordance with those guidelines;
- That the reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii) above would be deducted from the starting point referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) above;
- That a project to phase out HFCs contained in imported pre-blended polyols in the polyurethane foam sector in Peru would be subject to the decision taken by the Committee on whether it would fund the phase-out of HFCs contained in imported pre-blended polyols;
- That, upon completion of the end-user technology demonstration project in the commercial refrigeration sector included in stage I of the KIP, UNDP would submit a final report on the implementation of the project, including the HFC phase-out and energy-efficiency gains achieved, in line with subparagraph (g) of decision 92/36;
- To note also:
- That the Government of Peru would continue to monitor its HFC consumption to understand the extent to which reported consumption in the baseline years was representative of the local market’s needs and to assess what future HFC demand would be, and would provide that analysis when submitting the second tranche of its KIP;
- That, on the basis of the information provided in subparagraph (c)(i) above, the maximum allowable consumption limits for the remaining years of stage I of the KIP, as contained in Appendix 2-A to the country’s future Agreement with the Executive Committee would be revised when the Committee considered the second tranche of the KIP;
- To approve the first tranche of stage I of the KIP for Peru, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $283,140, plus agency support costs of US $19,820, for UNDP; and
- To request the Government of Peru, UNDP and the Secretariat to finalize the draft Agreement between the Government of Peru and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HFCs, including the information contained in the annex referred to in subparagraph (a) above, and to submit it to a future meeting once the KIP Agreement template had been approved by the Executive Committee.
