What does the F-Gas phasedown strategy aim to achieve?

The F-Gas phasedown strategy is designed to reduce the amount of F-Gas in the market systematically over time. The main objective of this strategy is to minimize the environmental impact of these gases, which are potent greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to climate change. By limiting their availability, the strategy encourages the adoption of alternative refrigerants and technologies that are less harmful to the environment.

The phasedown approach focuses on achieving reductions rather than an outright ban or elimination of all F-Gases. It allows for a controlled transition and provides industries with time to adapt to new regulations and technologies, thereby ensuring a balanced and effective reduction in the use of these gases. This careful management of the phasedown process aims to achieve sustainable practices while addressing the risks posed by F-Gases.
