Summary

Since the 1st July 2012, as part of the Clean Energy Future Plan, synthetic greenhouse gas (SGG) refrigerants attract an
“equivalent carbon price” based on their global warming potential. SGG refrigerants will become more expensive to
replace. SGGs imported before 1st July 2012 do not attract the HFC levy.
