Will the Minister of ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Government has taken steps to freeze Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and gradually phase them out as agreed under the Kigali agreement;

- (d) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (DR. MAHESH SHARMA)

(a) to (d): The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol for phasing down Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) shall come into force on 1.1.2019. Under the Kigali Amendment, it has been agreed that India will have 2024-2025-2026 as the baseline years, with a commitment to  freeze  the  production  and  consumption  in  2028.  The  freeze  year  can  be  deferred  to  2030 subject to technology review. In addition to production and consumption of HFCs in the baseline year,  65  %  of  Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) baseline has also been added to provide for adequate  carbon  space  for  development  of  our  country.    India  has  undertaken  to  complete  its phase down in 4 steps from 2032 onwards with cumulative reduction of 10% in 2032, 20% in 2037, 30% in 2042 and 85% in 2047.

While  phasing  out  Ozone  Depleting  substances  (ODSs),  environment  friendly  and  energy efficient technologies were consciously chosen for transition by the country. Earlier, hydrocarbons  were  used  in  industrial  aerosols  and  domestic  Refrigerators  sector.  Under  the ongoing  Hydrochlorofluorocarbons  (HCFCs)  Phase-out  Management  Plan  (HPMP),  foam manufacturing  enterprises  in  the  large  and  medium  sector  are  transitioning  to  cyclopentane, which is a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) technology.  In the air-conditioning sector, the country has manufacturing capacities for both propane (R-290) and HFC-32 technologies.  These technologies are low GWP in comparison to the choices exercised by the developed World while phasing out HCFCs.
