HFC producers’ body, the EFTC (European Fluorocarbons Technical Committee) has issued a position paper encouraging adoption of the proposed amendment to the Montreal Protocol for a global HFC cap and phase-down.
The backing for a phase-down by the European Fluorocarbons Technical Committee will be viewed by many as an acceptance by refrigerant producers that pursuing new low-GWP options globally are the best way ahead for the industry and the environment. Significantly the body has called for a reduction in HFC consumption, rather than production.
