In what year did the EU F-Gas Regulation come into effect?

The EU F-Gas Regulation came into effect in 2015, marking a significant step in the European Union's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly those associated with fluorinated gases. This regulation aimed to limit the use of F-gases, which have a high global warming potential, and to promote the transition to more sustainable alternatives. The implementation of this regulation set the stage for subsequent measures aimed at further restricting the use of F-gases and encouraging better management practices within the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors. Understanding this context is vital for grasping the ongoing regulatory landscape and its implications for environmental and industry practices.
