Kyoto Protocol

Kyoto Protocol

Kyoto Protocol

(OP)
Hi,

Does any body know Refrigerant gas phase out schedule based on Kyoto protocol?

RE: Kyoto Protocol

See that Google search tool at the top of this page?

Type "epa.gov refrigerant phase-out" in there, click the web button and poof!

Assuming of course that you are interested in the US phase-out schedule.  Other contries are probably similarly easy.

RE: Kyoto Protocol

Thanks for the reply ChrisConley and MintJulep. I found it on epa.gov and duppont web page also. But all of them are based on Montreal protocol. Kyoto protocol might not as strong as montreal... since the protocol arent rectified by numbers of county including US as well. Thanks

RE: Kyoto Protocol

I haven't looked at these issues for awhile, but isn't refrigerant phase-out based directly on the Montreal protocol - because it addresses ozone depletion?  The Montreal protocol originally set the phase-out milestones for CFC (R-12) and HCFC (R-123, R-22) refrigerants, among others.  The US's 1990 Clean Air Act put many of those recommendations and a variation on the phaseout schedule into law.

The Kyoto protocol addresses global warming, which is only tangentially related to refrigerants through equipment efficiencies (despite Trane's disingenuous marketing regarding R-123 vs. R-134a).

RE: Kyoto Protocol

I guess I am missing the main point here: montreal concerns about ozone and kyoto about green house effect. Refrigerant phase out listed on Montreal while kyoto mainly talking about efficiency to reduce greenhouse gass. Thanks Tombmech.
