The European Union's climate and energy strategy with its so-called "20-20-20 targets" has resulted in a legislative package which aims among others to bring about a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020. This is an ambitious undertaking that encompasses various specific measures. One of these refers to the use of partly fluorinated hydrocarbons or so-called F-gases. To minimise their impact on global warming, in April 2014 the EU Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases asthe long-awaited revision of the F-Gas Regulation. New regulations such as the ban on refrigerants that have a particularly strong impact on the climate should help the EU to achieve its climate targets and promote the use of technologies in the refrigeration and air-conditioning branch which significantly reduce the environmental impact. Europe is thus setting new global standards for reducing CO2 emissions. The revised F-Gas Regulation applied from 1 January 2015 onwards. But what does it mean in specific terms for manufacturers, system planners and operators? Eurammon has put together the most important facts and background data.
