Estimated Use CFCs for MDIs, 2010-14

Global Use and Production of CFCsfor Metered Dose Inhalers

60th ExCom decided to modify production agreements for China and India to allow production of pharmaceutical-grade CFCs to meet essential uses of other countries for 2010, with annual review.

If MTOC recommendations for 2011 approved: China manufactures CFC for its own use, and can export to Russia

(Russia probably last EUN 2011) All other Parties might be able to manage remaining CFC needs

from stockpile (total 300 t; <250 t in 2011, <55 t in 2012) Stocks at start 2010: USA 1,020 t; Venezuela 301 t; prices trebled

from $5 to $15/kg New pharmaceutical-grade CFC manufacture may not be needed

to meet 2011 and 2012 requirements (except China)


Manufacturing conversion in Article 5

Many conversions being completed by 2011 Some companies moving ahead without MLF

funding Some companies have CFC-free capacity that is

not fully utilised


Argentina Significantly reduced exports through nomination process Affordable CFC-free alternatives are available for all drugs

in all export markets Most manufacturers switched to HFCs; total installed

capacity for salbutamol HFC MDIs sufficient for demand Pablo Cassara

Inexpensive salbutamol CFC MDIs supplying 60-70% of Argentina’s market MLF has financed the first replacement project with isobutane, but

toxicological issues are not yet resolved No apparent technical barriers to reformulate salbutamol MDIs with HFCs

(as this company has for other drugs) Without demonstrated progress, in future MTOC may be unable to

recommend CFCs for its salbutamol MDIs


Bangladesh and India

Bangladesh Transition strategy phase-out by 2012, ahead of

expectations 3 manufacturers will have HFC MDIs for salbutamol and

beclomethasone this year HFC MDI manufacturing capacity exceeds national

demand India

Transition progressing well Cipla has 51 different CFC-free products available TEAP does not recommend the portion of India’s EUN

designated for export to markets that have banned CFC MDIs


China 810 t requested, including 589 t for salbutamol

and 96 t for beclomethasone 90% of EUN for domestic market – recommended 10% of EUN intended for export – not

recommended Ciclesonide in regulatory review – not

recommended Chinese Traditional Medicines – to be re-evaluated

nationally


China (2) China’s current schedule infers that it will be the last

country to complete the transition Salbutamol CFC-MDI phase-out will be completed by

2016, based upon 6 CFC-free alternatives becoming available

Beclomethasone CFC-MDI phase-out will be completed by 2017, based upon 2 CFC-free alternatives becoming available

Fast track regulatory processes could accelerate phase-out

China manufactures its own pharmaceutical-grade CFCs: CFC production “campaign” to complete transition might be needed


Decision XXI/4(8) TEAP/MTOC technical expert mission to Russian Federation

Funded by grants from Sweden, Finland and 2 Russian MDI manufacturers

GEF CFC phase-out programme in 1990s omitted the MDI sector; subsequently, adequate investment has not been secured

Funding support for technology conversion and equipment is critical for transition

With funding, manufacturing transition could be completed by the end of 2012


Decision XXI/4(8) TEAP/MTOC technical expert mission to Russian Federation

Formulation of new salbutamol HFC MDIs is completed and initial dossiers submitted to health authorities

Accelerating the health regulatory processes could facilitate approvals

An Inter-Ministerial working group chaired by Ministry of Health has been convened

Some affordable CFC-free imports are available that could make up any shortfall

Without additional demonstrated progress, MTOC may be unable to recommend future EUNs

Process Agents

Three process agent uses (#5, 11, and 27 of Table A) discontinued in the EU

Reporting to Table B is only required for those Parties using process agents

Clarification is needed on EU sources of CTC emissions (process agents, feedstocks, inadvertent production and other uses)

A joint report by TEAP and the MLF ExCom will be submitted to the OEWG-31 in 2011 (as per decision XXI/3 (5))


Laboratory and Analytical Uses of ODS

Parties provided extensive information about reasons for use of controlled substances in lab & analytical uses

Alternative substances and procedures for most lab & analytical uses could be adopted by Article 5 and non-Article 5 Parties at no extra cost

Some laboratory uses are difficult to replace where the ODSs are converted or transformed

CTOC will provide further information on decisions XXI/6 (5) and (6) at MOP-22

TEAP/CTOC requests information from A5 Parties on any of those uses already removed from the exemption


EUN of CFC-113 in the Russian Federation

CTOC recommends the EUN for 100 metric tonnes of CFC-113 in 2011 by the Russian Federation for use in the domestic space program (with a projected decrease to 35 tonnes in 2014)

CTOC recommends greater efforts for the introduction of appropriate alternatives and newly designed equipment to complete the phase-out of CFC-113 on an accelerated time schedule


Destruction Technologies

CTOC identified approximately 180 facilities in 27 countries employing a variety of technologies; far more than reported in the 2002 TEAP Task Force Report

Information was obtained on four emerging destruction technologies including the conversion of halons and CFCs into unsaturated fluoromonomers, and the chemical decomposition of methyl bromide

As destruction becomes more widespread, existing guidelines may need to be revisited

HFC use is continuing to decline in the polyurethane (PU) sector as hydrocarbon technologies continue to mature

Further optimisation of hydrocarbon technologies has largely closed the gap in thermal performance with HFC technologies

Transition out of HCFCs has been completed in the XPS sector, with the primary choice being combinations of saturated HFCs

Non-Article 5 Countries

Short-lived (unsaturated) HFCs are being investigated in a number of foam applications

The short-lived HFC-1234ze is already in commercial use for PU One Component Foam (OCF)

The potential role of carbon finance has been actively considered in both Europe and North America

Non-Article 5 Countries (2)



• Accelerated HCFC phase-out under Decision XIX/6 continues to place pressure on the validation of HCFC-alternatives suitable for developing countries

Pilot projects are being conducted on key technology options and some are close to completion. A recent workshop confirmed the use of methyl formate in Brazil, Australia and the USA in integral skin, specialty flexible and most rigid foam applications

Article 5 countries (1)

23

A pilot project in the polyurethane sector using methylal is underway in Brazil

Pilot projects have been approved for HFC-1234ze in the XPS sector in Turkey and for super-critical CO2 in PU spray foam in Colombia

Pre-blended hydrocarbons may have a significant role to play for smaller enterprises. Two pilot projects have been approved




The MLF ExCom has not approved a methodology for quantifying the climate impacts of technology transitions

Pilot projects on the end-of-life management of domestic refrigerators have been identified and are in the process of development

Progress in soil treatment - Chemical alternatives

Chemical alternatives (1,3-D/Pic, chloropicrin, metham sodium and metham potassium), used alone and/or in combination with other alternatives are now widely adopted in many countries for many preplant soil applications

Adoption of methyl iodide and the 3 way fumigant system 1,3-D/Pic/metham sodium is rapidly decreasing global consumption and in the US is significantly reducing CUNs. M o n t r e a l P r o t o c o l O E W G - 3 0 m e e t i n g, 1 5 - 1 8 J u n e 2 0 1 0, G e n e v a

Progress in soil treatment - Chemical alternatives (2)

Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is effective against a wide range of nematodes but is less effective against soil borne fungi and weeds.

Adoption of barrier films has expanded in Parties still applying for CUE to MB, including Japan, Israel and the US South Eastern states. California continues to prohibit barrier films with MB

Formulation changes and improved application methods increase the effectiveness of several alternatives (e.g., Pic EC, 1,3-D/Pic EC)


Progress in soil treatment – Non-chemical alternatives

Grafting continues to be adopted in many countries, in vegetables and cucurbits production. Research is underway in the US to establish this technology on a wider scale .

Soil less culture continues to expand in the ornamental , vegetable and strawberry industries around the world.

Biofumigation has proven successful and is being adopted in many countries e.g., Spain.

Solarisation is being adopted in many countries and is particularly efficient when combined with other non chemical and chemical alternatives .

Steaming methods are being improved to increase effectiveness and economic feasibility


Progress in Alternatives for Structures and Commodities

Sulfuryl fluoride (SF) is a major alternative but with concerns: Regulatory approval of SF has stalled in the US and Canada;

some approvals have been revoked within the EU The high GWP of SF is comparable to that of CFC 11; millers,

food processers and their customers cite environmental concerns about using SF

Parties may wish to clarify if SF “labels” allow the use of MB on packaged rice in Australia and dates in the US

International Maritime Organisation (IMO) approval will increase the use of phosphine for in-transit fumigation

New models could expand the use of heat treatment


Progress in Alternatives for Structures and Commodities (2)

Special report on use of alternatives in UK mills: All UK mills and food processors adopted intensive IPM

to minimize the need for a full site treatment and implemented other non-MB treatments; consequently MB is no longer used.

UK approach is applicable to US and Canada mills Special report on pest control in dates:

MBTOC and USDA scientists investigated US date pest control situation; USDA research not successful thus far, but ongoing
