Summary

The 26th IIR Informatory Note “Overview of regulations restricting HFC use - Focus on the EU “F-Gas” Regulation presented recent regulatory developments at the global level and in some countries in order to limit the use of HFCs due to their impact on global warming. It also specified the requirements and the implications of the EU “F-gas” Regulation, which entered into force on January 1, 2015. The main consequences for the actors in the refrigeration sector bear on the decisions to be taken regarding the replacement or retrofit of their refrigeration installations and the choice of the most suitable alternative refrigerants to HFCs. This Informatory Note first provides the characteristics of the main low-GWP refrigerants that can replace HFCs and then lists, application by application, the possible long-term options.
