1 UNIDO Experience in RMP/TPMP/NPP Implementation with a focus on service sector program Thematic meeting on RMP implementation Thematic meeting on RMP implementation September 2006 Belgrade, Serbia Belgrade, Serbia

2 Also in Algeria, Argentina, Cameroon, China, Egypt, Honduras, Iran, Jordan, Korea,DPR, Libya, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria (CFC/CTC), Oman, Pakistan (CFC/CTC), Qatar, Sudan, Venezuela ………. CFCBaseline2003A ALB BIH CRO MCD ROM SEM UNIDO for RMP/TPMP/NPP in Europe New CFC consumption limit, ODP tonnes (essential use exemption after the ban)

3 Strategy of ODS Phase-out in RMP/TPMP/NPP Policy instruments, custom empowerment Manufacturing sector programme Service sector programme: (1) encourage refrigerant recovery - technicians training - recovery and recycling scheme (2) stockpiling (3) drop-in refrigerants not HC e.g. R-409, R-413; not HC (4) retrofitting and replacement

4 CFC Availability Legislation and customs control Euro CFC: virgin >> recovered, recycled Short of CFC Workshops Good practice and right equipment Certification and even licensing Commercial incentives Logistics Support of MFMP Awareness promotion Capable local institution and people, people, and people General Factors for Successful RMP

5 UNIDO Learning on Equipment  Recovery unit is essential service tool  Locally made recovery units  Separation-chamber type recycling unit  Identifier as refrigerant analyzer  Reclamation for single refrigerants  Small service tools, e.g. piercing valve  On-site recycling  Storage cylinder for un-recyclable CFC

6 Recycling Centre in Brasov, Romania Recovery unit (ICPIAF) Separation-chamber type recycling unit Storage cylinder for mixed refrigerants Recovery cylinder Gauge manifold Identifier

7 UNIDO Learning on cost of recycling Fixed cost - high administration (documentation, record, inquiry) advertisement overhead depreciation Variable cost - not significant utility consumable (tiny for chamber type unit) transportation (nil for center at retail shop) handling analysis – significant for reclamation

8 UNIDO Learning on Factors for Success  Training of core personnel and high-level officials  Dedicated national institute for project management  Linkage between technicians training and provision of service equipment  Service equipment concern on ExCom/MLFS understanding on recovery unit, Decision 41/100 b(ii)  Determination
