nature’s messagesnature s messages
• Nature is constantly sending us direct messages, telling us that the climate is changing: droughts, floods, fires, hurricanes, sea levels rising, melting snow packs and glaciers, spread of new diseases.rising, melting snow packs and glaciers, spread of new diseases.
• The ozone crisis should have taught us that it is much easier to tip nature’s balance than to restore it.
• 75 years from the onset of the ozone crisis in the early 1970s till the time the ozone layer is expected to almost recover around 2050.
• NASA reports 2010 has been the hottest year on record: 2010, 2005, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009

the precautionary principlethe precautionary principle
• Basic axiom of ecology is that everything is interconnected and if one factor is changed, all others are affected
• No substance should be released into the environment until it is proven to be benign
• The polluter should pay for the damage
• We either learn to live within nature’s limits or we shall perish

Fluorocarbons are not sustainableFluorocarbons are not sustainable
• CFCs and HCFCs are potent ozone depleting substances
• CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs are super greenhouse gases
• HFCs must not replace HCFCs.

HCFC consumptionHCFC consumption
• CFC consumption in developing countries peaked in 1995 at approximately 180 kt per year.
• HCFC consumption in developing countries will peak in 2013 at approximately 566 kt per year: or 3.14 times the peak CFC consumption.
• Global HCFC emissions in 2007 (at .78 Gt CO2 eq.) were 30% more than average HCFC emissions during 2000-2004.

Accelerated HCFC phase outAccelerated HCFC phase out
• The accelerated HCFC phase out could reduce cumulative emissions of 21 billion tons of CO2
equivalent greenhouse gases.
• But if HCFCs are primarily replaced by HFCs the climate benefits will be greatly diminished.
• The most commonly used HCFC is R-22 with a GWP of 1700. The most likely HFC replacement is HFC-410a with a GWP of 1890.

Climate impact of HFCsClimate impact of HFCs
• The consumption of HFCs in developing countries by 2050 is projected to be 8 times greater than in d l d t ideveloped countries.
• That will mean that the global consumption of HFCs will be 3 5 times higher than the combined HFCs will be 3.5 times higher than the combined peak consumption of CFCs and HCFCs in 1989.
• If we only reduce CO2 emissions and do nothing If we only reduce CO2 emissions and do nothing about HFCs, they will be responsible for between 28% and 45% of carbon-equivalent emissions by 20502050.

Leapfrogging HFCs in developing countriesLeapfrogging HFCs in developing countries
• Leapfrogging HFCs makes good business sense for developing countries:
N t l b t ff th l t i t l • Natural substances offer the long term environmental solutions
• Their operating costs are lessI t li ti th ffi i t th • In most applications they are as or more efficient than HFCs
• HFCs will have to be phased-out and there won’t likely be another round of financial supportanother round of financial support
• Export markets for HFC products will shrink as governments of importing countries act against HFCs

Orderly & strategic HCFC phase-out in developing countries
• With funding from the Multilateral Fund, developing countries should avoid the HFC cul-de-sac: there will not be yet a 3rd round of funding to assist developing countries to phase-out HFCs.
• Developing countries can plan for an orderly phase-out of HCFCs : start with sectors (e.g. foams and refrigeration) where HFC-free alternatives are most readily available.
• Many could meet their earliest commitments (freeze by 2013 & 10% reduction by 2015) with an orderly phase-out plan.
• Adequate funding must be provided to enable developing countries to meet their commitments without using HFCs: cheaper to pay now, to pay for prevention.

Measures to promote uptake of natural working fluids
• Adjust obsolete safety standards to reflect the current safety capacities of equipment using natural refrigerants.
• Internalize the climate impact of all refrigerants through carbon taxes
• Educate policy makers, equipment manufacturers and users and the public = confidence building
