Adapting to the EU F-Gas Regulation with Backer's Expertise

The revised EU F-gas Regulation, effective March 2024, introduces an ambitious phased reduction of high-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants by up to 85% by 2036, focusing on HVAC&R sectors. The regulation mandates reduced reliance on HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) and emphasizes low or zero-GWP refrigerants like CO₂ (R-744), propane (R-290), and ammonia (R-717). As a leader in heating solutions, Backer is well-prepared to support industries adapting to sustainable, cost-effective solutions that align with these evolving standards.

Understanding the Impact of the EU F-Gas Regulation

The updated regulation challenges industries to transition from high-GWP refrigerants to eco-friendly alternatives, with strict requirements on leak detection, equipment handling, and personnel certification. Compliance now requires adopting low-impact refrigerants and maintaining systems to meet stringent leak-check protocols, which Backer’s product design and safety expertise can efficiently address.

Industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and data centers will benefit from eco-conscious cooling technologies that support long-term energy savings.
