With production and consumption of HFCs rapidly increasing, benefits of eliminating ozone-depleting substances under the Montreal Protocol – estimated to be up to 135 billion tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent from 1990-2010 – are being reversed. A global deal to phase down HFCs offers much-needed climate protection
In the early hours of the morning, the 27th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol ended with a clear agreement to address the consumption and production of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but stopped short of a legal amendment to the Protocol to phase down HFCs
A briefing prepared for the 27th Meeting of Parties (MoP27) to the Montreal Protocol, held from November 1-5, 2015 in Dubai. We make the case that a global agreement under the Montreal Protocol to address HFCs could prevent the consumption of more than 100 billion tonnes of CO2e hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 2050
Today the world’s governments agreed to start formal negotiations to phase down the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used primarily in refrigeration and air-conditioning
The EU F-Gas Regulation will compel a large-scale conversion to climate-friendly refrigeration and air-conditioning technologies in Europe by 2030. In the process, it will transform the European economy with implications for producers, importers, distributors, manufacturers, operators, contractors and consumers
