Calculation of consumption allowance The annual consumption allowance for an HCFC set out in Table 3 of Schedule 1 for use as a refrigerant or as a fire-extinguishing agent to which each person who was entitled to the allowance under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations, 1998 is entitled is determined as follows: for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2019, in accordance with the following formula: is the consumption allowance, expressed in ODP tonnes, that was granted for 2014 for the cooling sector; and is 28.57 %; and for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2020 and ends on December 31, 2029, by multiplying the consumption allowance granted for 2019 by 5%. Transfer If a transfer of a portion of the consumption allowance is approved in accordance with subsection 57(4), the transferred portion is substracted or added to the person’s annual consumption allowance, as the case may be, in the case of a permanent transfer, for every calendar year following the year of the transfer; or in the case of a temporary transfer, for the calendar year of the transfer. The Minister must inform the person in writing of their consumption allowance. Consumption allowance not to be exceeded A person who is granted an annual consumption allowance must ensure that it is not exceeded by determining their calculated level of consumption for each HCFC for a calendar year, and then adding together all of their calculated levels of consumption. Calculated level of consumption The calculated level of consumption for an HCFC — excluding a recovered, recycled or reclaimed HCFC that is imported or exported — that is manufactured, imported or exported during a calendar year must be determined using the following formula: is the quantity manufactured during the calendar year, other than the quantity manufactured for use as feedstock; is the ozone-depleting potential set out in column 2 of Table 3 of Schedule 1 for the HCFC in question; is the quantity imported during the calendar year; is the quantity exported during the calendar year; and is the quantity imported during the calendar year for destruction under paragraph 54(1)(a). Prohibition to transfer without authorization It is prohibited for any person to transfer all or a portion of their annual consumption allowance unless the Minister allows the transfer under subsection (4). Transfer may be temporary or permanent A transfer is temporary if it applies to only one calendar year, and it is permanent if it applies to all calendar years up to and including 2029. The transferor and transferee must submit an application to the Minister for the transfer containing the information required by Schedule 4 and specifying whether the proposed transfer is temporary or permanent. The Minister must allow the transfer if the transferor has an unused consumption allowance that is not less than the quantity of the proposed transfer. The Minister must inform the transferor and transferee in writing of the decision concerning the application for a transfer and of their consumption allowances. Grounds for refusal and cancellation The Minister may refuse to allow or may cancel a transfer if the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the transferee is not able to manufacture, use, sell, import or export an HCFC in compliance with Canadian law. If the Minister cancels a transfer, the transferee must, without delay, transfer back to the transferor any unused portion of the consumption allowance. Retirement of consumption allowances A person may retire their consumption allowance by providing the Minister with a notice in writing to that effect containing the information required by Schedule 4. Effect of retirement A person who has retired their consumption allowance is not entitled to any further consumption allowance. Calculation of manufacturing allowance The annual manufacturing allowance for an HCFC set out in Table 3 of Schedule 1 to which each person is entitled is determined as follows: is 81.9 ODP tonnes, is the quantity manufactured by a person for 2013, expressed in ODP tonnes, and is the quantity manufactured in Canada, expressed in ODP tonnes; and for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2020 and ends on December 31, 2029, by multiplying the manufacturing allowance granted for 2019 by 5%. Greater manufacturing allowance When it is necessary to allow Canada to fulfill its obligations under an agreement with a Party for the purpose of industrial rationalization or to satisfy domestic HCFC needs, the Minister may permit, for a calendar year, a greater manufacturing allowance than that which a person would have obtained under subsection (1) and that greater manufacturing allowance is not taken into account in any subsequent calculation of the annual manufacturing allowance. The Minister must inform the person in writing of their manufacturing allowance. Manufacturing allowance not to be exceeded A person who is granted an annual manufacturing allowance must ensure that it is not exceeded by determining their calculated level of manufacture for each HCFC for a calendar year, and then adding together all of their calculated levels of manufacture. Calculated level of manufacture The calculated level of manufacture for an HCFC must be determined using the following formula: is the ozone-depleting potential set out in column 2 of Table 3 of Schedule 1 for the HCFC in question; and is the quantity manufactured during the calendar year for destruction under paragraph 54(1)(a).

Purpose of manufacture The permit may only be issued to manufacture an HFC to be used as feedstock. Prohibition — manufacturing products containing HFCs used as refrigerants As of the date indicated in column 3 of Schedule 1.1, it is prohibited for any person to manufacture any product set out in that Schedule that contains or is designed to contain an HFC set out in Table 4 of Schedule 1 and used as a refrigerant if the global warming potential of the refrigerant used in that product is greater than the limit specified in Schedule 1.1. Beginning with the 2021 model year, it is prohibited for any person to manufacture an automobile equipped with an air-conditioning system that contains or is designed to contain an HFC that is set out in Table 4 of Schedule 1 and is to be used as a refrigerant if the global warming potential of the refrigerant used in that system is greater than 150, unless it is intended to be exported. As of January 1, 2021, it is prohibited for any person to manufacture a plastic foam or a rigid foam product in which an HFC set out in Table 4 of Schedule 1 is used as a foaming agent if the global warming potential of the foaming agent is greater than 150. Exception — military, space or aeronautic applications Subsection (1) does not apply to a plastic foam or a rigid foam product that is intented to be used for military, space or aeronautical applications. Pressurized containers — 2 kg or less of an HFC used as propellant As of January 1, 2019, it is prohibited for any person to manufacture a pressurized container that contains 2 kg or less of an HFC when the HFC is used as a propellant if the global warming potential of that HFC is greater than 150. Subsection (1) does not apply to the pressurized containers referred to in subsections 64.6(2) and (3). HFC no longer needed A person in possession of an HFC set out in Table 4 of Schedule 1 that was imported or manufactured under a permit issued under these Regulations and that is no longer needed for the use set out in that permit must, within six months after the day on which it is no longer needed, ensure that it is exported for destruction, for use as feedstock or for a laboratory or analytical use; or in the case of a recovered, recycled or reclaimed HFC, ensure that it is sent to a recycling or reclamation facility. Calculation of consumption allowance for HFCs The annual consumption allowance for an HFC set out in Table 4 of Schedule 1 to which a person is entitled is determined as follows: for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2019 and ends on December 31, 2023, by multiplying the base consumption granted to that person by 90%; for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2024 and ends on December 31, 2028, by multiplying the base consumption granted to that person by 60%; for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2029 and ends on December 31, 2033, by multiplying the base consumption granted to that person by 30%; for each calendar year that falls within the period that begins on January 1, 2034 and ends on December 31, 2035, by multiplying the base consumption granted to that person by 20%; and as of January 1, 2036, by multiplying the base consumption granted to that person by 15%. Calculation of base consumption The base consumption granted to a person is determined as follows: is the person’s average HFC consumption for 2014 and 2015, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent; is the average Canadian HFC consumption for 2014 and 2015, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent; and is 18 008 795 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Permanent or temporary transfer If a transfer of a portion of the consumption allowance is approved in accordance with subsection 65.08(4), the transferred portion is subtracted from or added to the person’s annual consumption allowance, as the case may be, in the case of a permanent transfer, for every calendar year following the year of the transfer; and Annual consumption allowance for HFCs not to be exceeded A person who is granted an annual consumption allowance must ensure that it is not exceeded by determining their calculated level of consumption for each HFC for a calendar year and then adding together all of their calculated levels of consumption. The calculated level of consumption for an HFC — excluding a recovered, recycled or reclaimed HFC that is imported or exported — that is manufactured, imported or exported during a calendar year must be determined using the following formula: is the global warming potential of the HFC; is the quantity imported during the calendar year; and is the quantity exported during the calendar year. Prohibition — transfer without authorization It is prohibited for any person to transfer all or a portion of their annual consumption allowance of HFCs unless the Minister approves the transfer under subsection (4). Temporary or permanent transfer A transfer is temporary if it applies to only one calendar year and it is permanent if it applies to all calendar years. The transferor and transferee must submit an application for the transfer to the Minister that contains the information required by Schedule 4 and specifies whether the proposed transfer is temporary or permanent. The Minister must approve the transfer if the transferor has an unused consumption allowance that is not less than the quantity of the proposed transfer. The Minister may refuse to approve or may cancel a transfer if the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the transferee is not able to manufacture, use, sell, import or export an HFC in compliance with Canadian law. Exceptions — essential purpose Despite subsection 13(1), sections 15 and 17, subsection 19(1), sections 40 and 41, subsections 42(1) and 43(1), sections 48 and 49, subsection 50(1), section 51, subsection 53(1), subsections 64.4(1), 64.5(1) and 64.6(1), sections 65.02 and 65.03 and subsection 65.04(1), a person may import, manufacture, use or sell a substance set out in Table 1, 3 or 4 of Schedule 1 or a product containing or designed to contain that substance if the substance or product will be used for an essential purpose and if a permit is specifically issued under these Regulations for that purpose.
