Summary

Warning: The Regulation 517/2014 is repealed by the 2024/573 regulation (see link below).
The European Regulation n°517/2014 came into force in 2015: it applies in all EU member states. Its objective is to enable the application of two international protocols: the Kyoto Protocol and the Montreal Protocol, which aim to limit global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer.
This European regulation, commonly known as "F-Gas", allows more specifically to respect the Kigali Amendment which aims at progressively decreasing the production and use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), mainly used in refrigeration systems (air conditioning, transport and cold storage, domestic refrigeration, etc.).
The objective of F-Gas is to reduce emissions of fluorinated gases by two thirds by 2030, compared to 2014 levels.
The European Regulation n°517/2014 replaces the European Regulation n°842/2006 and will be updated soon.
