CANADÁ Notificación: G/TBT/N/CAN/507 Proposed Amendment to the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations (12 pages, available in English and French). GHG emissions, including HFCs and CO2, are contributing to a global warming trend that is associated with climate change. HFCs have global warming potentials hundreds to thousands of times greater than that of CO2. Without immediate action, annual HFC emissions in Canada are projected to increase from 6 Mt of CO2e emissions per year in 2013 to 22 Mt per year in 2030, underlining the important contribution of HFCs to global warming. HFC emissions are projected to increase at a faster rate than economic growth due to increased utilization as they replace HCFCs that have been phased out under the Montreal Protocol.The proposed Regulations Amending the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations (proposed Regulations) aim to reduce the supply of HFCs that enter into Canada and the demand for HFCs in manufactured products, thereby averting future HFC releases to the environment. This would reduce Canadian GHG emissions, help limit global warming, and contribute to Canada?s international obligations to combat climate change. The proposed Regulations also aim to put Canada in a position to ratify the amendment to the Montreal Protocol.The proposed Regulations Amending the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations would establish controls on HFCs by combining a phase-down of the consumption of HFCs with prohibitions on the import and manufacture of certain products that contain HFCs above a specified limit, including air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, foam products, and aerosols.
