On 29 January, the EU Council announced that they have adopted a new legislation aimed at phasing down the emissions of highly potent greenhouse gases including fluorinated gases (F-gases) and ozone depleting substances (ODSs). This will result in the elimination of 500 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions by 2050.
The new rules will enter into force 20 days after publication in the EU’s Official Journal, following the signing of the regulations by the Council and EU Parliament.
