Four (4) National Experts to carry out a survey for Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) available/used/consumed in refrigeration sector (industrial, commercial, mobile air-conditioning, stationary air-conditioning) in MoldovaVacancy Number: Pr15/00795
Background
The Republic of Moldova is Party to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (Vienna, March 22, 1985) and Montreal Protocol (Montreal, September 16, 1987) since1996. Inthis line, the country has committed to gradual phase-out of ozone depleting substances (ODS) such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) mostly because of their high Ozone Depleting Potential. The initial HPMP-stage I for Moldova was approved at the 63rd ExCom meeting in December 2010. The first control step was the freeze on production and consumption of HCFCs at the baseline levels by 01 January 2013, and the second control step is the reduction by 10% from the baseline level in 2015. Preparation of a HCFC phase-out management plan (stage II) was approved at 72nd Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund in May of 2014. The project is being implemented jointly by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The aim of the project is to develop HPMP-Stage II proposal focusing on compliance with the Montreal Protocol targets. The HPMP stage II, is focus on collection of information inputs in consultation with the industry/private/public sectors and design of future national interventions for Moldova to meet 2020 HCFC phase-out obligations. The HPMP stage II will result in formulation of a specific plan of action for the HCFCs phase-out and an implementation plan document to be developed jointly by UNDP/UNEP and submitted to MLF Secretariat for approval. To conduct survey of HCFCs consumption, use, availability in Moldova in refrigeration, air-conditioning sector and other applicable sectors, the “bottom up” approach will be used. To update baseline information, backed by the outreach to the HCFC importers and end-users in commercial sector as well as industry (agriculture, product supply chain), and identify the priority next steps to meet 2020/35% HCFC reduction step will be taken. The surveys will present actions taken by the country for transition from HCFCs to alternatives and will also identify opportunities and challenges for transition to low-GWP alternatives for various applications. In order to achieve the expected results of the project, UNDP is currently seeking four (4) qualified national experts to conduct the survey in close coordination with the National Ozone Unit (NOU) under the Ministry of Environment. Scope of work
The overall objective of the assignments is to support MoE/NOU in review and endorsement process on the HPMP draft, for timely finalization and submission to the ExCom as well as in responding to comments on HPMP from MLF/ExCom. The scope of work of the four (4) National Experts is to collect and update consumption data for HCFCs covered now by the current HPMP stage 1 programme by sectors (industrial, commercial, mobile air-conditioning, air-conditioning).
