the use of global warming potential (GWP)
as a comparative measure. SNAP Rule 20
is still in force and will be unless the Court
issues a mandate vacating the rule. Regulations
driving towards lower GWP solutions
will continue. It is important for business to
continue to consider HFC regulations as part
of a long-term strategy.
The Montreal Protocol Kigali HFC Amendment
has been agreed to by the Parties and
will be in force on Jan. 1, 2019. Implementation
required ratification by 20 countries (23
have ratified), although any country can implement the content of
the Amendment without ratification. Any country that does not
ratify by 2033 will be subject to non-Party trade provisions.
Ratification in the U.S. requires a 2/3 majority vote in the
Senate. To date, fifteen U.S. states and a number of cities have
committed to meet the Paris Climate Agreement.
On June 18, the Australian Parliament passed amendments to
the Ozone Protection & Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management
Act. The scheme commenced on Jan. 1, 2018 at a level of 75%
of Australia’s allowed baseline under the Kigali Amendment.
The steps down will be every two years and are designed to avoid
shocks to industry. The legislation also allows for GWP limits to
be set for particular equipment types by regulation. At this point,
no bans are being formally considered.
Mexico is also very committed and already thinking about phase
downs to meet Kigali Amendment Commitments. SPRAY
