Options at Vienna
• Methyl Bromide– Elimination by 2001 reduces integrated ozone
loss over next 50 years by 13%
• Halons– Avoiding release of stored agent reduces
integrated ozone loss over next 50 years by 10%
• HCFCs– Acceleration of phaseout to 2004 reduces
integrated ozone loss over next 50 years by 5%
![Page 15: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Vienna Decision VII/12To recommend that all non-Article 5 Parties should endeavour, on a
voluntary basis, to limit the emissions of halon to a minimum by:(a) Accepting as Critical those applications meeting the
Essential Use criteria as defined in Decision IV/25, paragraph I (a);(b) Limiting the use of halons in new installations to Critical
Applications;(c) Accepting that existing installations for Critical Applications
may continue to use halon in the future;(d) Considering the decommissioning of halon systems in
existing installations, which are not Critical Applications, as quickly as technically and economically feasible;
(e) Ensuring that halons are effectively recovered;(f) Preventing, whenever feasible, the use of halon in equipment
testing and for training of personnel;(g) Evaluating and taking into account only those substitutes
and replacements of halon, for which no other more environmentally suitable ones are available;
(h) Promoting the environmentally safe destruction of halons, when they are not needed in halon banks (existing or to be created).

Decision VII/12 - Key Points
• Voluntarily minimise halon emissions by:• Limiting new halon use to Critical (meeting the
Essential Use criteria) Applications;• Considering decommissioning non-Critical
installations, as quickly as feasible;• Taking into account only replacements for
which no other more environmentally suitable ones are available;
• Promoting the environmentally safe destruction of halons not needed in banks.

Decision VIII/17 - Key Points
[Before extensive destruction of halon]:
• Studies (two) on future availability of halons for critical applications:
• If shortfall, TEAP/HTOC propose action;
• If surplus, TEAP/HTOC provide guidance on disposal or redeployment, bearing in mind needs of Article 5 Parties; identify potential barriers; suggest how to overcome them.
![Page 18: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Decision IX/16 - Key Points
• TEAP to examine [again] feasibility of early decommissioning in non-Article 5 Parties of all [non-Critical] halon;
• Destruction or redeployment of stocks;
• Bearing in mind:– Article 5 needs;– efficacy of alternatives;– decommissioning and destruction
experience.

Recent Decisions - Implications
Changes in Political Complexion of the Montreal Protocol:
• Criticality = Use Control
• Pressure to decommission proactively
• Pressure to destroy halon
• Consider other environmental issues
![Page 20: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Kyoto Protocol (1)
• Completed 10 December 1997
• Carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from Annex 1 (industrialised) Parties to reduce by 5.2% on average by 2008-2010
• Promised reductions: Europe 8%; USA 7%; Canada and Japan 6%; etc
• "Demonstrable progress" by 2005
![Page 21: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Kyoto Protocol (2)
• Gases covered: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride*, hydrofluorocarbons* and perfluorocarbons*
• * option of 1995, not 1990, baseline
• Assessment is of total reduction - no requirements for individual gases
• Credit for carbon sinks
![Page 22: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Kyoto Protocol (3)
• Emissions trading possible
• No targets for developing countries
• Credit for non-Annex 1 reductions
• Signing 3.98 to 3.99; takes effect 90 days after 55 Parties and 55% of 1990 Annex 1 emissions have signed
• Next Meeting Buenos Aires 11.98

Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update
• Montreal Protocol - Political Changes– Use Control– Proactive decommissioning– Pressure to destroy halon
• Kyoto Protocol
![Page 24: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Summary:
Ozone Depletion Issues: International recognition that ozone 1985
layer protection was needed. Plan to reduce CFC production. CAP @ 1987
1986 Level. Production limit halved & ban date 1990
set @ Y2K. Production ban moved forward 6 yrs. 1992
to 1994. First use limit “Critical Applications 1995
Only”. Destruction of excess recommended.

Summary (cont’d)
Global Warming Issues: International recognition that global 1992 warming gases needed to be limited. Agreement to reduce global warming 1997 gases.
• Including most Halon Alternative Agents.
![Page 26: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions:• Chemical induced environmental damage has led to:
• Continuously Tightened Controls &
• Ever Broadening Scope
• The aviation community as one of the few remaining users of Halons will incur increased political scrutiny and oversight.
• Some Alternative Agents which were OK under the Montreal Protocol are likely to be impacted by KYOTO Protocol in the long term.
![Page 27: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Recommendations:• Aviation community needs to proactively limit the use of Halons.
• Replace Halons where possible (in order of doability).
• Lavatory bin• Cabin portables• Engine nacelle• Cargo compartments
• Limit discharges• Minimize testing• Test with surogates• Maintain equipment
![Page 28: Halon and its Replacements - an Environmental Update David Ball Consultant Technical Advisor to Kidde International 17 November 1998 Presented By Bob Glaser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e665503460f94b61c68/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Recommendations Cont’d:• Environmental impact must be a key design consideration on future fire suppression applications.
• Design decision rationale should be permanently documented showing the trade off’s considered.
• Halon banking and forecasting of future needs is essential to protect the existing world supply of Halon from destruction.
• Proactive political involvement in environmental rule making is necessary to assure that aviations needs are properly understood and considered.
