Decision 95/74

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Türkiye for the period 2024-2029 to reduce HFC consumption by 14.4 per cent of the country’s baseline by 2029, in the amount of US $11,949,132, consisting of US $8,326,287, plus agency support costs of US $582,840, for UNIDO and US $2,841,126, plus agency support costs of US $198,879, for UNDP, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex L to the present report;
2. To note:
   1. The strong commitment of the Government of Türkiye to support reductions in HFC consumption in advance of the Montreal Protocol targets;
   2. That the Government of Türkiye would establish its starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in HFC consumption on the basis of guidance provided by the Executive Committee;
   3. That, once the cost guidelines for HFC phase-down had been agreed by the Executive Committee, reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding would be determined in line with those guidelines;
   4. That the reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding referred to in subparagraph (b)(iii) above would be deducted from the starting point referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii);
   5. That upon completion of the end-user projects in the commercial refrigeration and residential air-conditioning sectors included in stage I of the KIP, UNIDO would submit a final report on the implementation of these projects, including the HFC phase-out and energy efficiency gains achieved, in line with decision 92/36(g);
   6. That, during the implementation of stage I of the KIP and no later than the 98th meeting, the Government of Türkiye would be allowed, on an exceptional basis, to submit investment projects in the refrigeration, air-conditioning and foam sectors to achieve additional HFC reductions;
   7. That the Government of Türkiye 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 investment projects referred to in paragraph (b)(vi);
   8. That, on the basis of the information provided in subparagraph (b)(vi) and (b)(vii) above, the maximum allowable consumption limits for the remaining years of stage I of the KIP, as contained in Appendix 2-A to the future Agreement between the Government of Türkiye and the Executive Committee, would be revised when the investment projects referred to in paragraph (b)(vi) were submitted;
3. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the KIP for Türkiye, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $2,984,690, consisting of US $1,943,985, plus agency support costs of US $136,079, for UNIDO and US $845,445, plus agency support costs of US $59,181, for UNDP; and
4. To request the Government of Türkiye, UNIDO, UNDP and the Secretariat to finalize the draft Agreement between the Government of Türkiye 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 has been approved by the Executive Committee.
