F-Gas Regulation: Continued decrease in average Global Warming Potential of F-gas refrigerants

The EU introduced a HFC cap and the adoption of lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) F-gases in 2015. Since then, the average GWP, calculated from reported CO2e tonnes and metric tonnes, of all HFCs, HFOs and HCFOs, has decreased by 45%. In fact, in 2021, the average GWP was 1142 in the EU-27 countries, compared to 2062 in 2014 for the EU-27 and UK countries.
