Final Adoption of the Revised European F-gas Regulation

On January 29, after a long period of discussions, negotiations and trialogues, the Council of the European Union adopted the revised F-gas regulation to phase down fluorinated gases (F-gases) that cause global warming. These gases are used in heat pumps, air-conditioners, fridges and in some medicines. The implementation of this regulation will require certain efforts for the sector and continued research and development will be needed.
