Résumé

Since 2009 many efforts have been undertaken internationally to study limits to HFC consumption. In that year the Montreal Protocol experienced first discussions of the so-called HFC Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, discussions which are still ongoing. In fact, the European F-gas regulation and the MAC directive were the first international HFC regulations that entered into force; the F-gas regulation has already been reviewed recently and a new proposal is currently under discussion. In 2011, in Decision XXIII/9, the Montreal Protocol Parties requested a new report on environmentally benign or friendly ODS alternatives, which was published in 2012. The beginning of 2012, a group of countries established the CCAC, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the efforts of which are focused on the reduction of emissions of short-lived climate gases -including HFCs- via various initiatives, including workshops and conferences. Late in 2012, the Parties to the Montreal Protocol took Decision XXIV/7 in which they request a TEAP Task Force to produce a new report on “environmentally sound” ODS alternatives in 2013. This paper summarises main assessments environmentally acceptable alternatives, and elaborates on the refrigerant alternatives described in two recent TEAP Task Force reports, where the XXIV/7 Task Force report will be subject for discussions at the Montreal Protocol OEWG meeting in Bangkok, June 2013. Refrigerant alternatives should be “environmentally sound”, a definition probably related to refrigerant alternatives having a low GWP, which includes natural refrigerants.
