1 The World s Most Successful Ozone/Climate Change Multi-Stewardship Initiative Welcome to the MARR WGs Session Genoa de Bruin Climate Change Specialist, MOPIA Thursday, 8 th November, 2017 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 1

2 Presentation Overview Quick snapshot of MOPIA Highlight ozone & climate science Highlight white goods, current stats Potent HFC Refrigerants & Highlight emerging industry trends Time for Questions and Concerns, Suggestions 2

3 Successful multi-stakeholder Approach Mopia is a government-appointed multi-stakeholder, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization designed to foster environmental protection of the stratospheric ozone layer and to mitigate climate change. 3

4 MOPIA s Global Dialogue MOPIA at 30 th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Ecuador this week! Liaise with MARR and others. 4

9 Tornadoes, Forest Fires Record warm ocean temperatures pose threat to B.C. salmon Salmon face double threat from weather changes LA biggest rainfall ever July 18, 2015 Arizona 5 inches of rain July 17, 2015 Tornado near Arnes, MB, Lake Winnipeg, July 18,

10 Excessive UV radiation leads to New cases of skin cancer and eye cataracts (Canada 76,000+) USE AN SPF OF 35+. Crop yields impacted from UV radiation over-exposure leading to less plant productivity Increased incidences of short and long term health effects leading to a loss of immunity to diseases Effects on biogeochemical cycles, aquatic ecosystems, air quality and materials, etc. $235 billion to implement 2-4 x costly 10

11 Stratospheric Ozone Hole September (25), 2006, NASA reported the largest Antarctic ozone hole ever with total ozone depletion at 29.5 million km 2. Sept m km saw the most significant ozone depletion 40% late winter and early spring (March). WHO This week UV 8 and OD even -16% ODS can persist for many years with life spans of 25 to 400 years. Is recovery possible? The World Meteorological Organization estimates that the ozone layer will slowly recover to pre levels by UMg3Cgrs 11 Sources: theozonehole.com, NASA

12 Commitments to Protect Our Earth 1987 Montreal Protocol (World s 1 st Global Climate and Ozone Treaty) Chlorine & bromine To prevent, reduce and eliminate release of ODS into the atmosphere to protect the earth s ozone layer Today, all nations, 197 countries have ratified The Montreal Protocol 2005 Kyoto Protocol (Feb 16, 2005) 169 nations 2015 Paris Agreement 12

13 Kyoto Protocol/Paris Agreement The six gases: - carbon dioxide (CO ) 2 - methane (CH ) 4 - nitrous oxide (N O) 2 - sulphur hexafluoride (SF ) 6 - perfluorocarbons (PFCs) - hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). 13

14 14 Climate Change Impacts

15 Protection With the world-wide phase-out of ODS the A/C, Refrigeration and Fire Protection Industries are already taking steps to change systems to use non-ods products through normal business activities 15

16 Over 2 Decades of Progress 1990 Manitoba ODS Act Enabling legislation to meet commitments under Montreal Protocol 1992 Manitoba ODS Regulation enacted 1994 New ODS Regulation (MR 103/94) Manitoba a national leader in stratospheric ozone layer protection MOPIA appointed to provide atmospheric protection information and technical service resources MOPIA retains fees to administer and manage Manitoba s program 1995 Amending ODS Regulation (M.R. 128/95) 1999 Manitoba ODS Act amended Enabling legislation to allow for the regulation of replacement products [i.e. HFCs (GHGs)] 2005 Amendments to the ODS Regulation (M.R. 178/05) Amendments consistent with Canada s NAP to phase-out CFCs and halons Regulation name change to Ozone Depleting Substances and Other Halocarbons Regulation 2016/17 Admts due to FHR ODS Regulation / New Fed. Code of Practice and MP Amendments - under consideration based on stakeholder recommendations, EC, MP 16

24 Manitoba White Goods Initiatives 1. Some Municipalities have trained staff to extract 2. Retire my Fridge (Manitoba Hydro) 3. PureSphera (via municipality agreements) 4. Provencher Appliances (City of Wpg/ma s) 5. Private Contractors or Scrap Dealers 6. Special Projects (First Nations) Municipal Guidelines Consumer Awareness Information Waste Management Best Practices White Goods Awareness Poster 24 NEW* Hydrocarbon fridges in Canada/NA GE

25 What s happening across Manitoba Some municipalities charge for residents to drop-off white goods units, while others accept them and then have a contractor extract/recovery the refrigerant. The cost of refrigerant recovery varies depending on location, number of units, contractor used, and other variables. General cost to have the refrigerant removed is approximately $25-50/unit if contracted. There is a challenge throughout Manitoba and in northern Manitoba First Nations where transport is difficult or contractors are not readily available. It is mandatory to have the refrigerant recovered before scrapping/shredding or crushing. 25
