UFE’s reply to the public consultation on the revision of the F-gas Regulation

UFE supports the F-gases Regulation as a key piece of legislation to cut down emissions from F-gases with a very high global warming potential. UFE recommends clarifying the placing on the market prohibition for electrical switchgears, especially regarding the scope of the prohibition, the assessment of alternative solutions and the exception framework. UFE also warns against the tight deadlines set out for heat pumps equipments using HFC, which can jeopardise the achievement of the Renewable Wave and REPowerEU objectives.
