Control measures for HFCs under the Kigali Agreement to the Montreal Protocol commence from 1 January 2019 and will phase-down the production and import of HFCs. Australia’s Montreal Protocol obligations are implemented through licensing controls and quota restrictions on hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and HFCs, and licensing of imports of methyl bromide. Australia controls the import and manufacture of other synthetic greenhouse gases (perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride) in accordance with its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. A licence is required to import, export and manufacture synthetic greenhouse gases and to import products containing synthetic greenhouse gases. |
