Dear subscriber,
In this June newsletter, we cover EFCTC’s contribution to the ECHA Public Consultation on the proposed restriction of PFASs in fire-fighting foams, to provide additional sources of information about the environmental effects of HFCs, HFOs and HCFOs and some clarifications regarding their global warming potential and degradation. Also in this edition, we highlight the EFCTC position paper for the F-gas Proposal dialogue, which is available on the EFCTC website and EFCTC’s initial observations on the Ozone Regulation proposal. The political agreement reached on the new EU Single Window Environment for Customs is an important step to help prevent illegal trade in F-gases. We also discuss the important role HFCs, HFOs and HCFOs make to energy-efficient data centre free cooling systems. Data centres and telecoms are responsible for a significant environmental footprint, but are becoming more energy-efficient, reusing waste energy, and using more renewable energy sources. Interested in EFCTC’s list of upcoming events relating to fluorocarbons? You can find them listed at the bottom of the newsletter and on the fluorocarbons.org website. Thank you for your continued interest in EFCTC.
Marta Siddu – EFCTC Manager
