Gas bans in narrowly defined niche application areas ("F-Gas Regulation") 2 , – a Regulation focusing on preventing leakage during use ("containment") and at end of life of (mostly) stationary equipment as well as a limited number of F. In order to limit the rapid growth of F-Gas emissions and contribute to the Kyoto target, the EU adopted in 2006 Waste treatment of products and equipment. as aerosol or solvent) or due to leaks during the use period and improper Whereas other GHG emissions are mainly a by-product resulting from production processes, heating or transport, F-Gas emissions primarily occur either during emissive uses (e.g. Most F-Gases have been developed by industry specifically to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODS) that are being phased out under the Montreal Protocol and for this reason F-Gases are being increasingly used at world-wide scale. In 2010, 98% (by weight) of F-Gases placed on the EU market were HFCs, 2% was SF 6 and about 0.3% were PFCs.į-Gases are commodities used in a large variety of products and equipment including refrigeration, air conditioning (AC), insulation foams, electrical equipment, aerosols and fire protection. Currently, they account for 2% of the GHGs in the EU. Their emissionsĪre therefore covered by the Kyoto Protocol. (GHG) whose climate impact is up to 23.000 times higher than CO 2. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), commonly called fluorinated gases or "F-Gases", are very potent greenhouse gases 249Īnnex XVII: Assesment of indirect impacts on sales.
