Basic information

State of play

On 5 April 2022, the European Commission published a legislative proposal that would repeal and replace the 2014 F-Gas Regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas). The Parliament adopted its negotiating position on 30 March 2023; the Council on 05 April 2023. The co-legislators reached a provisional agreement on 05 October 2023. The agreement tightens the HFC phase-down and introduces new product bans that would effectively end the use of the most common HFCs and HFOs in most applications before 2035. Final adoption by Parliament and Council and subsequent publication are expected in Q1 2024.

The regulations aim to phase down high global warming potential (GWP) F-gases, reinforcing the EU’s environmental and climate objectives. They establish new rules on the use, containment, labelling, reporting, and certification of F-gases in heating, cooling, and refrigeration applications. The documents highlight the EU’s approach to promoting sustainable practices within the HVACR sector, facilitating the shift to climate-friendly alternatives.
