More than a year after EIA first exposed Europe’s illegal multi-million euro trade in climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), we are calling for an investigation into the growing black market in greenhouses gases
Climate-damaging refrigerant gases – hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – are illegally entering the EU inside cooling equipment, according to Dutch Customs

New evidence from Romania has thrown a spotlight on an unseen climate disaster – methane emissions
The potential climate impact of illegal HFC refrigerant trade into Europe could amount to the greenhouse gas emissions of more than 6.5 million cars being driven for a year
Europe’s ambitions to fight climate change are being torpedoed by a soaring trade in illegal hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
