Summary

In this report prepared for the European Commission, DG Climate Action, IIASA provides estimations on HFC emissions evolutions from 2005 to 2030 in the European Union (EU-27) for various applications of the refrigeration sector: commercial refrigeration, mobile air conditioning, stationary air conditioning, refrigerated transport and domestic refrigeration. It addresses the non-CO2 greenhouse gases included in the Kyoto Protocol, i.e. methane, nitrous oxide, and the three groups of fluorinated gases hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Overall, HFC emissions from these refrigeration applications are projected to increase by 50% during the period 2005-2030.
