Project proposals: Production of substitutes: CFC-12 to HCFC-22 Plant Conversion at Shanghai Chlore-Alkali Chemical Co. in China
108. The Executive Committee gave the World Bank permission to proceed on the understanding that the following recommendations by the Fund Secretariat would be addressed:
(a) to indicate to the Government of China that conversion of CFC-12 to HCFC-22 was a legitimate activity under the Multilateral Fund; however, given the special nature and size of the chemical production sector in China, the Executive Committee would request the implementing agencies to work with the Government of China to elaborate an integral strategy for a phase‑out in the ODS production sector in China.
(b) to establish a general policy guideline and a credible methodology for calculating costs in production projects before the project is presented to the Executive Committee for final approval.
