International Environmental Update Tom Cortina Halon Alternatives Research Corporation IASFPWG Meeting October 25, 2006 Atlantic City, New Jersey

Climate Change Kyoto Protocol - entered into force on February 16, 2005 Worldwide differentiated target of 5.2% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels between CO 2, CH 4, N 2 0, HFCs, PFCs, SF 6 EU (-8%), Japan (-6%), U.S. (-7%) No international policies and measures maintenance of national flexibility

United States U.S. will not become a party to Kyoto Protocol, currently focused on voluntary programs to address GHGs, rumors of change in policy California recently passed legislation that regulates GHGs, target is 1990 levels by 2020, 80%below by 2050 Other states expected to follow US Congress expected to begin serious debate on regulation of GHGs next year

Europe EU emissions trading scheme Major industries such as oil, steel, cement, glass, paper have a CO 2 cap Companies over cap can purchase emission credits from those below cap First year, more GHG credits issued than companies emitted - drop in price Recent calls for transportation emissions (air travel) to be included

EU F-gas Regulation European Union (EU) regulation on emissions of fluorinated GHGs HFCs, PFCs, and SF 6 - represent 2% of total EU greenhouse gas emissions Dual legal base - Does not allow member states to make national regulations that are more restrictive than EU regulations Allows Austria and Denmark to keep existing HFC bans until 2012

EU F-gas Regulation Published on June 14 in EU Official Journal Entered into force on July 4, 2006 and will apply on July 4, 2007 Review of regulation by the Commission within 5 years of entry into force Separate Directive to phase out HFC- 134a in car air conditioners starting in 2011

EU F-gas Regulation Does not prohibit the use of HFCs for fire protection Most applications (air conditioning, refrigeration, fire protection) requires containment, leak inspection, labeling, training, reporting, and recovery For fire protection, compliance with industry standards such as ISO should meet containment and leak inspection requirements

IPCC Special Report Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with cooperation from Technical and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP), completed a special report on HFCs and PFCs Intended to assist countries in making informed decisions when evaluating ODS alternatives Potential for emission reductions from fire protection is small - low emissions

EU Halon Critical Use List EU regulation 2037/2000 required the decommissioning of all non-critical halon systems by 2003 Aviation critical uses: In aircraft for the protection of crew compartments, engine nacelles, cargo bays and dry bays, and fuel tank inerting In hand-held fire extinguishers and fixed extinguisher equipment for engines for use on board aircraft

EU Halon Critical Use List Review of critical use list is underway Currently focusing on listed military applications Will eventually focus on other uses such as aviation Revised critical use list (Annex VII) expected to be proposed in October 2007 Should be final by early 2008

EPA SNAP Program Significant new alternatives policy (SNAP) proposed rule published on September 27, 2006 Phosphorous Tribromide (PBr 3 ) - acceptable subject to use conditions which limit use to only aircraft engine nacelles Highly toxic - but very small amount used, safe for handling or in case of spill Will be installed on Eclipse 500 jet

Montreal Protocol Halon Technical Options Committee (HTOC) met in August to complete work on 2006 assessment report Assessment reports highlight remaining issues for the Parties related to the transition from ODS to alternatives Chapters include Article 5(1) countries, military, merchant shipping, destruction, halon banking, halon inventories, and civil aviation

Montreal Protocol Civil aviation summary: Only sector that continues to be dependent on halons in new equipment Has not demonstrated further progress through adoption of alternatives in new airframe designs Lacks a focused plan to implement alternatives in the near future Progress noted in use of HFC alternatives in lavatories of some Airbus and Boeing aircraft

Montreal Protocol Civil aviation summary: Concern that sufficient supplies of halons will not be available to meet aviation needs years from now Halon 1211 is getting difficult to find in US and Europe (5-year supply), price is rising Unless the process to design, qualify, and certify new extinguishing systems on new commercial aircraft is made a priority by industry and approval authorities, it will remain a significant barrier to progress

Montreal Protocol Decision XV/11 calls for the TEAP to engage in discussions with ICAO to develop a timely plan of action to consider modifying the regulatory requirements that mandate the use of halons on new airframes HTOC co-chairs were given responsibility by TEAP to implement Decision XV/11

Montreal Protocol Decision XV/11 action plan: HTOC will submit an article for the ICAO Journal - Volume 60, Number 6, 2005 HTOC will project halon supply, cost and emissions - some information submitted, more to come ICAO will issue a State Letter in 2006, inviting States to require the use of proven alternatives in newly designed aircraft

Montreal Protocol Decision XV/11 action plan: ICAO Secretariat will introduce an ICAO/HTOC working paper at the 2007 ICAO assembly Requirement for States to use proven alternatives in new airframe designs beginning 2009 Due to change in ICAO personnel, process could be delayed 2-3 years
