As the largest developing country in the world, our country is a major producer, exporter and exporter of ODS. The progress of ODS phase-out in our country has a crucial impact on the achievement of the objective of the Montreal Protocol and the global cause of ozone layer protection.
Since China acceded to the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol, the Chinese government has approved the establishment of a national leading group for the protection of the ozone layer, led by the MEP, and participated by 18 relevant ministries as a cross-sectoral coordination body to guide comprehensive compliance actions. For more than 20 years, the MEP has formulated and effectively implemented more than 100 policies and regulations and management measures for ODS phase-out and formulated control strategies of "regulation management, policy guidance, production reduction, consumption reduction, development of alternative technologies and use of substitutes" , And innovated the mode of combining ODS total quota control and quota license management with industry's overall phase-out plan and single project reduction. The cumulative controlled phase-out of over 270,000 tons accounted for more than half of the developing countries' phase-out.
In recent years, China has also phased out the production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons by 71,000 tons, using 45,000 tons and closing the production capacity of 88,000 tons, surpassing the target of phase-out of the first phase of hydrochlorofluorocarbons and making an important contribution to international compliance The Chinese forces.
During the compliance process, the MEP has coordinated the technical, economic, legal and administrative measures to coordinate all aspects of work. With the support of the Multilateral Fund, the MEP has implemented 31 industry plans and closed more than 100 related production lines , To carry out ODS substitution in thousands of enterprises.Meanwhile, the MEP also actively promoted the industrial implementation of alternative technologies for low-carbon and environmental protection during the compliance process to achieve the dual environmental benefits of greenhouse gas emission reduction while protecting the ozone layer.
In recognition of the Chinese government's significant contribution to ozone depletion (ODS) phase-out, the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection has been awarded the Leadership in Ozone Layer Protection and Leadership Policy.
