$\"FGAS-BESA_RENEWAL\"$ Imports of HFCs in Europe have gone up slightly, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA).<\/p>\n

Ahead of an upcoming cut to the HFC quota in 2018, the \u2018Fluorinated greenhouse gases 2016<\/a>\u2019 report \u2013 published last week by the European Environment Agency (EEA) \u2013 reveals that bulk imports of fluorinated gases rose by 2% in 2016 compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

Under the EU F-Gas Regulation, on 1 January 2018 the overall allocated quota of HFCs is set to fall from 93% of the original baseline to just 63%<\/p>\n

The increase, reported by the EEA (an agency of the European Union), contrasts starkly with the decrease reported in 2015 \u2013 the date of the entry into force of the EU\u2019s new F-Gas Regulation on phasing down HFC consumption \u2013 when bulk imports fell by 40%.<\/p>\n

The EEA report cites the import increase as \u201cprimarily due to an 80% rise in HFCs with low global warming potential\u201d as imports of F-gases went up by only 2% if measured in CO_{2<\/sub>\u00a0equivalent (CO_{2<\/sub>e).<\/p>\n}}

Production of f-gases, reported in tonnes, also went up by 2% in 2016 compared to 2015 levels. These gases had less global warming effect than previously used HFCs, according to the report, as CO_{2<\/sub>e decreased by 2%.<\/p>\n}

In comparison to the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which is a global agreement to limit HFCs, the EU is well ahead of its targets.<\/p>\n

In 2016, HFC consumption in the EU was the lowest since reporting began in 2007 and is already 14% below the required limit enshrined in the Kigali Amendment, the EEA claims.<\/p>\n

Arno Kaschl of DG CLIMA at the European Commission, whose principal objectives are implementing the EU\u2019s fluorinated gas policies and supporting the international negotiations under the Montreal Protocol to put into effect a global phase-down of HFCs, recently stated in\u00a0 Accelerate Europe<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that the F-Gas Regulation is on track as prices of HFCs are set to increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are first movers in Europe, but with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, we\u00a0have now also created a level playing field in a globally-agreed, worldwide technology conversion which should create significant new business opportunities for European companies,\u201d Kaschl said.<\/p>\n
