This plan implements the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Malaysia successfully eliminated the use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) by 2010. Building on this milestone, Malaysia has implemented the hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) Phase Out Management Plan (HPMP) Stage I (2011-2016) and Stage II (2017-2024).
By 2030, Malaysia aims to achieve a full phase-out of HCFCs, accepting a small allowance for the servicing ‘tail’ to 2040. HPMP Stage III will focus to address two subsector plans, the Refrigeration Air Conditioning (RAC) Servicing Sector Plan (HCFC-22) and the Chillers Servicing Sector Plan (HCFC-123). HPMP stage III will further strengthen the regulatory and institutional systems by establishing new bans on the use of HCFCs, and expand customs officers, port authorities and national control and compliance officers’ capacities to control and manage HCFC in trade, use and continue raising awareness to sustain the HCFC phase-out. Implementing HPMP Stage III will reduce Malaysia’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 8.42 million tonnes CO2-eq.
