F-GAS Regulations

F gas stands for fluorocarbon gasses: what are fluorocarbon gasses?

Fluorocarbons, sometimes referred to as perfluorocarbons, are organofluorine compounds that contain only carbon and fluorine bonded together in strong carbon–fluorine bonds. Fluoroalkanes that contain only single bonds are more chemically and thermally stable than alkanes. However, fluorocarbons with double bonds (fluoroalkenes) and especially triple bonds (fluoroalkynes) are more reactive than their corresponding hydrocarbons. Fluoroalkanes can serve as oil-repellant/water-repellant fluoropolymers, solvents, liquid breathing research agents, and powerful greenhouse gases. Unsaturated fluorocarbons tend to be used as reactants.

The objective of the Regulation is to contain, prevent and thereby reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol.

The Regulation covers the use of HFCs, PFCs and SF6 in all their applications, except Mobile Air Conditioning, covered by the Directive.

Entry into force: The F-gas Regulation and the MAC directive were published in the Official Journal fo the Europan Union on 14 June 2006. The Regulation entered into force on 4 July 2006 and a number of the measures will apply from 4 July 2007. In addition to the legal text, additional national measures will be needed to implement, among others, its provisions on penalties for non-compliance, to be notified by 4 July 2008
