LocationsHydrochlorofluorocarbon Phase-out Management Plan for Bhutan
Summary
The Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) phase-out management plan of Bhutan stems from the firm commitment of the country to protect and preserve the environment and to maintain the negative carbon emission status. Based on this, the country has committed to phase-out HCFCs by 1 January 2025. The plan will impose an import ban on import of HCFC based equipment by 2013. The decision on phasing-out of HCFC by 2025 is based on the countries determination to maintain the negative carbon emission status.
The planned activities for the project include:
- HCFC phase-out policies and enforcement
- Information exchange and advocacy programme

- Investment projects to facilitate HCFC consumption reduction
- Recovery and Reclamation programme
