Project overview

The HCFC Phase-out Management Plan (TPMP) strategy contemplates phase out schedule in line with the Decision XIX/6 requirements. The first stage of HPMP which is presented will effectively target reaching the freeze by 2013 and 10% reduction of baseline phase out level by 2015.

This HCFC Phase out Management Plan (HPMP) documents the analysis and actions proposed by the government of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan in respect to meeting the obligations assumed under Decision XIX/6 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on the accelerated phase of HCFC’s.  It has been prepared by the National Ozone Unit with the support of UNDP acting as implementing agency. The project will be implemented by UNDP as a lead agency and UNEP as a cooperating agency. It is intended to serve as an integral component of the country’s policy and commitment to meet its obligations under the Montreal Protocol.

The overall strategic objectives associated with the HPMP in Stage 1 and Stage 2 are:

Stage 1: To rapidly stabilize and initiate reduction in current HCFC consumption over a three-year period to a projected baseline level forecast to be approximately 4.42 tons ODP (80.4 tons HCFCs-22) by 2013 and reduce this to 3.98 tons ODP (72.3 tons HCFCs-22) by 2015.

Stage 2: To sustain the progressive reduction in consumption reduction to a level of 2.665 ODP (48.45 tons HCFC-22) in 2016, 1.332 ODP tons (24.21 tons HCFC-22) in 2018, 0.102 ODP tons (1.85 tons HCFC-22) in 2020 and effectively zero in 2025.

• To the maximum degree practical utilize technologies that minimize climate change impacts.
• To accomplish the above in such a way as to minimize economic and social impacts, particularly in vulnerable sectors and portions of the population.

Current achievements

The draft law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On ratification of the amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances, that Deplete the Ozone Layer, adopted in Kigali, Republic of Rwanda on October 14, 2016” and the draft Decree of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic on the draft Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On ratification of the amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, adopted in Kigali, the Republic of Rwanda on October 14, 2016 ” were developed.

A reference letter was developed for the draft Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol”, which describes the new rules of the Montreal Protocol, the schedule of phase down of HFCs, the objectives of the Kyrgyz Republic after ratification and it’s benefits for the country.
