Montreal Protocol• Is an international treaty, ratified by all 197 countries, to phase
out the use and production of 96 ozone depleting substances CFC’s and HCFC phase out dates Most successful International Treaty
Latest Amendments• North American proposal to phase out HFC’s
HFC’s have been used as replacement for CFC and HCFC’s
HFC are not ODS but have a high GWP
Federal & Provincial Implications• Montreal Protocol is used as the baseline for setting regulations
federally (Federal Halocarbon Regulation 2003) and Provincially (MB)( Ozone Depleting Substances Regulation)

•Discussions• Interventions by Mid Eastern
countries (high ambient temperature) on if HFC’s should be included in the Montreal Protocol
• Article 5 countries would like more money added to the MLF to deal with and mange the HCFC phase out dates
• HFC’s were discussed as an “informal” contact group
Interesting to see 197 parties take an hour to agree on wording for contact group
• Presentations were given by: TEAP, SAP & EEAP

NOVEMBER 22, 2014
•Awareness• MOPIA continued to spread awareness of the
uniqueness of how industry and regulatory authorities can work together
• Provided E-bulletin in hard copy and electronic copy published on observer UNEP site of meeting
• Provided hard copies of compliance guide
•Industry Concerns• Liaised with Environment Canada and shared
frustration with industry on HFC propellant issues • Spoke to Environment Canada and explained
industry frustration with not having the Code of Practice Finalized.
•Latest Issues with ODS• Resources established for emerging technologies
(foams, training, refrigerants etc)• Discussed with Dupont if HFO’s and HC’s can mix
with any H&S concerns. • Best Practices were shared amongst MOPIA, other
parties and industry

•Opportunities
1. Share MOPIA’s story Discussion needs to be given on how we share this
story and with who IGSD (Dr. Steve Anderson expressed interest in a
partnership for resource sharing)
2. Understand industry’s need for Natural refrigerants
Technician training is necessary for a safe progression from either HCFC’s or HFC to hydrocarbons or ammonia
If need is there provide promotion and awareness of options of natural refrigerants
Understand what is already in the MB market SHECCO promoted one CO2 supermarket in MB
3. Continue to provide awareness of emerging technologies to stakeholders through e-bulletin and awareness sessions Energy efficiency Refrigerants (HC, NH3 & chemical options (HFO’s) Foam technologies www.cooltechnologies.org

NOVEMBER 22, 2014
Technology is changing faster than the Policies and the Regulators
• Being led by industry and the costumers of the products
HFC’s are going to be regulated in the future• Either under the MP or something else (federally,
provincially, UNFCC, Koyto etc.)
Industry is moving away from HFC dependence• In favour of HC, NH3 or HFO’s where alternatives are
available• Chemical companies are still developing new alternatives
•Energy Efficiency is just as important as the type of refrigerant
