WHAT DAS THAT MEANS
EU Green Deal:
• The European Union's action plan for a sustainable economy and climate-neutral Europe by 2050.

Fit for 55 Package:

• A set of legislative proposals part of the EU Green Deal aiming to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at
least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

Key Measures:
• Emissions Trading: Reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to include more sectors and reduce
emission allowances.
• Renewable Energy: Increased use of renewable energy sources with higher integration targets.
• Energy Efficiency: Improved energy efficiency to reduce overall energy consumption.
• Transport and Infrastructure: Promotion of cleaner transport modes and infrastructure.

Goal:
• Transition to a clean, circular economy, protect biodiversity, and cut pollution.

 SUMMARY OF MAIN PARTS
NEW EU REGULATION 2024 / 573
Phase-down of HFC R134a, R404A… (not HFO)
 Phase-down becomes a Phase-out and faster as well as more extensively:
• By 1 January 2030, the commission shall publish a report on the effects of this regulation
• 2040 a review is planned related to phase-out
 Remaining refrigerant quantity is needed for servicing and maintaining existing systems

Ban of use for new installations

 NEW bans from Regulation 2024 / 573 + existing bans from Regulation 517 / 2014
 Exemptions related to local safety requirements can be applied for individual applications – not clearly
defined yet
 NEW: bans for HFC and HFO (incl. blends)

23 NATURAL REFRIGERANTS WITH FOCUS ON THE EU MARKET © BITZER 18.10.2024

 SUMMARY
NEW EU REGULATION 2024 / 573
Service and maintenance
 Recycled or reclaimed refrigerants are excluded from the quota
 NEW: GWP > 2.500 for service purposes only until 2030
 NEW: refrigerants must be recycled or reclaimed before reuse after it was recovered
 Spare parts can still be used for existing installations
• no increase of capacity, F-Gas charge or GWP allowed
 Leak tests remain and are extended
• NEW: i. e. , HFO refrigerants > 1 kg
 Monitoring the success of the repair remains and extended
• NEW: needs to be checked after 24 hours but latest within 1 month

Certification and Training remain and are extended

 NEW: requirement of certification for natural refrigerants
 NEW: required refresher courses
 Training and consulting on naturals
• Risk assessment from operators becoming even more important

2006 REACH
Provisional Timing Main Impact for the Industry
Proposal to restrict usage of PFAS Ban of all F-gas refrigerants, except for non-PFAS: R32 (GWP = 675! ! ),
 Jan. 2023: Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, R152a (GWP = 124), R1132a (GWP < 1) and R1132 (E) (GWP ~ 1)
Norway and Sweden submitted a restriction
proposal O-rings, packed glands, flat gaskets and other sealings especially for
high temperature applications made from synthetic fluoropolymers are
 Oct. 2023: Public consultation closed
also targeted.
• More than 5.000 replies on proposal
 2025 / 26: scheduled entry into force
 Restrictions are not expected to be in time
(process delayed)

Statement from BITZER

A restriction of fluoropolymers would require a
substantial re-design and re-qualification of
compressors, heat exchangers, as well as other
components of the final equipment
 No viable PFAS-free alternatives available for
today’s fluoropolymer products Source: ECHA Media Briefing 2023

 BITZER REFRIGERANT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OUR
CUSTOMERS SELLING TO THE EU MARKET

New systems Wherever possible, shall be designed to operate with long-term available
refrigerants* with a GWP < 10.

If this is not possible, then GWP < 150 should be the limit, as also this can be considered too high
for covering all new systems with regards to the proposed phase-down steps after 2030.

Conversion or retrofitting of existing systems to refrigerants with the lowest possible GWP for
each unit is recommended is strongly recommended where technically and economically feasible.

There may be limits on GWP and certainly the available quantities of fluorinated refrigerants are
limited due to very low targeted emission quotas.

Existing running systems that do not lose refrigerant do not need to be

retrofitted.
