Task
Force on Collection, Recovery and Long-Term Storage (TFCRS): The TFCRS looked at ODS use patterns, emissions, and inventories, and assessed the potential for management of surplus ODS according to two sectors: those with early emissions and those with delayed emissions. |
|
Task
Force on Destruction Technologies (TFDT): ![]() ![]() Lambert Kuijpers and Sukuma Devotta (right) reported the outcomes of the TFDT. Building on the 1992 and 1995 reports, the TFDT looked at disposal of contaminated stockpiles, cross-contaminated CFCs, Halons, confiscated compounded materials, and displaced ODS, and, after evaluating 45 technologies, recommended twelve. The TFDT found that the cost of destruction varied significantly depending on the type of ODS, distance to destruction facility, exchange rate, and preprocessing needs. The cost of on site destruction, however was estimated at between US$3-6 per kilogram. |

![]() US expressed concern over the suggested timeline for critical use exemption requests for methyl bromide (by end of 2003 for exemptions for 2005). |
|
![]() Burkina Faso said Parties submitting exemption requests should specify the production company and any intended exports for better monitoring. |
|
![]() Australia suggested the methyl bromide TOC also include information on stockpiles and reasoning behind exemption requests, especially when different requests are made for the same use in different countries. Left Photo: Tamara Curll (Australia) giving an intervention. |
|
![]() Tunisia noted drawbacks to using CO2 as an alternative to methyl bromide in date cultivation and asked for suggestions for alternatives. |
|
![]() Canada and Japan suggested that a standard nomination form for methyl bromide exemptions should be prepared for MOP-14. Right photo: Pierre Pinault (Canada) |

FURTHER
STUDY OF CFC CAMPAIGN PRODUCTION FOR MDIs: ![]() Co-Chair Catelin (right) recalled that the TEAP report recommended continued just-in-time production of CFCs for MDIs, but noted that final campaign production may be necessary at the end of the transition period. |
|
![]() The EC called on all non-Article 5 Parties to submit strategies for ensuring the transition to CFC-free MDIs. He supported using the existing essential use procedure, if campaign production becomes necessary. Left photo: Tom Batchelor (EC) |
