Domesticrefrigeration appliances will be the firstend-use to be tackled, with a specificfocus to address ozone depletingsubstances contained in the current stockof equipment.The XIXth Meeting of the Parties to theMontreal Protocol in September 2007,through its Decision XIX/6, adopted anaccelerated phase-out schedule forHCFCs. The first control is the freeze onproduction and consumption of HCFCsthrough the first 10% reduction step tothe 35% on 1 January 2020. The earlystages of the HPMP will focus on theestablishment of safe hydrocarbon andnatural refrigerant use culture to enabletheir safe general long term use.Activities will be undertaken to convertHCFC use into environmentally soundalternatives and to draw on theexperienced gained and lessons learnedfrom the previous programmes to phaseout CFCs in the servicing sector.$1,722,727 2011 -2014$1,356,311 2011 -2019EnergyCommissionMinistry ofEnergyEPANationalOzone UnitAdditionalinformationGHANA CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY AND ADAPTATION ASSESSMENT 209
