Lecture 4. Montreal Protocol - Ozone

The Montreal Protocol requires phasing out the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances like CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform by 2000. It was negotiated and signed by 24 countries in 1987 due to concerns about ozone layer depletion. The protocol and its amendments set phase out schedules for developed and developing countries. If fully implemented, the protocol is expected to allow the ozone layer to return to pre-1980 levels.

Montreal Protocol

What is Montreal Protocol?

Montreal Protocol requires that that the production and


consumption of compounds that deplete ozone in the
stratosphere--chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon
tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform--are to be phased out
by 2000.
How the Montreal Protocol started?

 Due to the depletion of the Ozone layer, Montreal Protocol


on substances that deplete the ozone layer was negotiated
and signed by 24 countries
Summary of Montreal Protocol control measures

Ozone depleting substances Developed countries Developing countries


Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) Phased out end of 1995a Total phase out by 2010
Halons Phased out end of 1993 Total phase out by 2010
CCl4(Carbon tetrachloride)
Phased out end of 1995a Total phase out by 2010
 

CH3CCl3 (Methyl chloroform)


Phased out end of 1995a Total phase out by 2015
 

Freeze in 2013 at a base level calculated as


Freeze from beginning of 1996b
the average of 2009 and 2010 consumption levels
35% reduction by 2004
10% reduction by 2015
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) 75% reduction by 2010
35% reduction by 2020
90% reduction by 2015
67.5% reduction by 2025
Total phase out by 2020c
Total phase out by 2030d

Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs) Phased out end of 1995 Phased out end of 1995

Freeze in 1995 at 1991 base levele


25% reduction by 1999 Freeze in 2002 at average 1995-1998 base levele
Methyl bromide (CH3Br)
50% reduction by 2001 20% reduction by 2005
(horticultural uses) 70% reduction by 2003 Total phase out by 2015
Total phase out by 2005

Bromochloromethane (CH2BrCl) Phase out by 2002 Phase out by 2002


Montreal Protocol

 This protocol and the 4 amendments (London, Copenhagen, Montreal, Beijing)


was signed by all the countries
Achievements attained by the protocol

 As a consequence, the Protocol has now led to the phase-out of 98%


of the historic levels of production and consumption of ozone-
depleting substances. 
 Prevented impacts of increased harmful UV radiation
 Adverted greenhouse gas emissions
 With full and continuous implementation, provisions the global
ozone layer should return to pre-1980 levels
