Commercial refrigeration compressor strategy in China

The Thirty-fifth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:

(a)  to take note of the sector plan for the phase-out of CFC-11 and CFC-12 consumption, as contained in Annex II to document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/34;

(b)  to express the intention to provide the Government of China with the agreed and eligible incremental costs for the five remaining compressor plants, in line with the original agreement entered into in 1995 by the Executive Committee, in which China undertook to phase-out 13,000 ODP tonnes of CFC consumption, based on unconstrained demand in 1995 in the commercial and industrial refrigeration sub-sector;

(c)  to request the Secretariat to work with the World Bank to reach agreement with the Government of China on the level of the eligible incremental costs of the five projects and to submit the projects to the Executive Committee at its 36th Meeting;

(d)  to consider granting the Government of China flexibility in using the identified funding for incremental costs, rather than purely for conversion of the five compressor manufacturing enterprises;

(e)  to urge the Government of China to use the resources for identified incremental costs in the most cost-effective manner to contribute to effecting phase-out activities in the commercial and industrial refrigeration sub-sector, which may or may not involve conversion of the five enterprises in question.
