F-gas proposal continues to generate diverse positions on feasibility

The Parliament committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) recognises industry concerns about the effects of the more rapid phase-down of HFCs in the Commission F-gas proposal. Rapporteur Sara Skyttedal’s revision proposal, passed on 24th January, states: “The Commission’s proposal on the proposed HFC phase-down would de facto be a phase-out of HFCs in new equipment as of 2027 which would seriously jeopardise the EU’s 2030 climate and energy ambitions and the goal of REPowerEU to accelerate heat pump roll-out.”
