What is the maximum allowable GWP for refrigerants under the EU F-Gas Regulation?

The maximum allowable Global Warming Potential (GWP) for refrigerants under the EU F-Gas Regulation generally varies, and specifically, it targets the phase-out of certain high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The regulation sets specific thresholds where refrigerants with a GWP exceeding 2500 are phased out, while others may have different limits depending on their application and GWP rating.

This nuanced approach reflects the EU's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change by encouraging the use of alternatives with lower GWPs. It is not a simple maximum like the other choices suggest but rather a regulated threshold that varies depending on specific HFCs and their environmental impact. Therefore, keeping in mind the differentiated regulations based on GWP ratings is critical for compliance and environmental responsibility in refrigerant usage.
