NOVEMBER 22, 2014MOP 26 Nov 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 MOPIA

NOVEMBER 22, 2014MOP 26 Nov 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  MOPIA

NOVEMBER 22, 2014MOP 26 Nov North American Amendment PHASE-DOWN OF HFC’S

 8 substantive & 17 procedural decisions  Agreements on Critical Use Exemptions (MDIs)  Agreements on Essential Use Exemptions (labs)  Replenishment of the Multilateral Fund ($507.5 million for )  11 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalenet  NOVEMBER 22, 2014MOP 26 Nov

NOVEMBER 22, 2014MOP 26 Nov 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 OVERALL THOUGHTS
