As the EU is considering revisions to the F-Gas Regulation, a new report shows that a complete phase-out of HFCs is possible in 20 sub-sectors by 2020 and maintains that bans of HFCs in new equipment is the most effective way of reducing HFC emissions. Hydrocarbon refrigerants, their blends or their combination in systems with other low-GWP refrigerants, are among the available alternatives to replace HFCs in different applications.

As the EU is considering revisions to the F-Gas Regulation, a new report shows that a complete phase-out of HFCs is possible in 20 sub-sectors by 2020 and maintains that bans of HFCs in new equipment is the most effective way of reducing HFC emissions. Hydrocarbon refrigerants, their blends or their combination in systems with other low-GWP refrigerants, are among the available alternatives to replace HFCs in different applications.
The report has been authored by refrigeration technology expert Prof. Michael Kauffeld of the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, with the support of the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA). Based on the availability of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) technologies, the report outlines a clear timetable, setting out the dates by which the use of HFCs can be banned in new equipment, with a complete phase-out possible by 2020 in 20 sub-sectors.
