Press Release on F-Gas Regulation: EU risks undermining its own climate and energy security goals

Representatives of the full value chain of the Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump sector in Europe are deeply concerned with the European Commission proposal fora revised EU F-Gas Regulation published today.
 
The proposal contains new worrying prohibitions on equipment critical to Europe’s decarbonisation and an unsustainable phase-down. These, in the face of insufficient alternatives and trained installers, will massively “decelerate” the deployment of heat pumps and other heating and cooling solutions required to achieve EU’s 2030 climate and energy, as well as geopolitical goals expressed in the European Commission’s recent #REPowerEU Communication.
