The UK, Scottish and Welsh governments have undertaken an assessment of the F-gas Regulation and published a joint report on its effects. This is in line with the statutory requirement set out in Article 21(2) of the F-gas Regulation as retained in UK law as it applies in Great Britain. The report is available at (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/assessment-of-the-f-gas-regulation-in-great-britain)
It does not set out proposals for legislative change.
This report retrospectively assesses the F gas Regulation in Great Britain against its objectives to reduce F gas use and emissions. It includes:
- a forecast of the continued demand for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
- an assessment of further action from international commitments
- an overview of standards
- a review of the availability of technically feasible and cost-effective alternatives.
