Mitigating the climate impact of refrigerants: the EU and international policy.

Author(s) : VERHEYE T., AVRAAMIDES M.

Summary

In 2006, the EU adopted a regulatory framework aiming to reduce emissions of HFCs and other F-gases. This policy is widely acknowledged as a global model which leads to more responsible management of the substances, tighter systems, lower F-gas charges and ultimately to the substitution by more environmentally-friendly technologies. Not coincidentally, the demand for low-GWP alternatives such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons is growing and more recently, several chemical companies have started investing in new low-GWP alternatives.
