Hydrofluorocarbon phase out in Europe

Following two decades of fluctuation, European Union emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) peaked in 2014. They have since fallen by about 38% (by 2023). This can largely be attributed to the EU-wide hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phase out specified in the F-gas Regulation, which aims to reduce F-gas emissions and mitigate global warming. HFCs account for the majority of F-gas emissions and the EU is on track to meet its targets for HFC use. It is also on track to meet its international obligation to reduce HFC consumption, in effect since 2019, under the Montreal Protocol.

It’s time to end the era of F-gases in power grids

The development of F-gas-free switchgear is long completed. The EU has the chance to make them history now.
