In June 2018, the 81st meeting of ‘Montreal Protocol’ multilateral fund executive committee approved the grant fund of $23 million for China's HCFCs production sector phase-out in 2018, and defined the target of China’s HCFCs production control in 2018, that is the maximum allowable HCFCs production was 22,742 ODP tons, in other words, reducing HCFCs production by 1,188 ODP tons.

At the end of 2017, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued an initial production quota of 366,657 tons (amount to 23,930 ODP tons) for 2018. In order to achieve the target of reduction in 2018, the production sector needs to cut 16,649 tons of HCFCs production, including 7,458 tons of HCFC-22, 4,005 tons of HCFC-141b and 5,186 tons of HCFC-142b. 

According to the production agreement, China agreed to use the funding for first stage and following projects to the permanent closure and dismantling of the production line. Therefore, FECO intends to give priority to the phase-out project of closing HCFCs production line through open project solicitation in 2018, in order to achieve the reduction target of HCFCs production sector for 2018.
