Environmental groups step up calls for rapid HFC phase-out EUROPE: With the European Commission currently formulating itsreview of the F-gas regulations, environmental groups have steppedup calls for a phase-out of HFCs. A coalition of environmental NGOs, comprising the EnvironmentalInvestigation Agency, European Environmental Bureau, Greenpeace,World Wide Fund for Nature, Deutsche Umwelthilfe, Climate ActionNetwork Europe, Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development,Natuur & Milieu, CDM Watch and ClientEarth, have written to EUclimate Commissioner, Connie Hedegaard, calling for a ban on HFCrefrigerants in new equipment by 2020. Industry group EPEE, however, has accused the group of basing itsproposals on flawed data and an under estimation of safety andenergy efficiency requirements. "In order for industry to have the confidence to invest inalternatives, we need clear bans on the use of F-gases on asector-by-sector basis," said Environmental Investigation Agencyclimate campaigner Alasdair Cameron. "The mostly Europeanbusinesses providing alternatives need concrete timeframes forplanning and investment purposes, something that a so-called'economy-wide phase-down' will not provide." Andrea Voigt, director general of EPEE hit back: "The NGOs havebased their call for a phase-out on studies that have already beencriticised for flawed data and significantly overestimating themarket penetration potential for alternative refrigerants, therebyunderestimating safety, but also energy efficiency requirements." EPEE favours a gradual phase-down scheme which would encourage theuse of lower GWP refrigerants while leaving refrigerant choice. "However, claiming a phase-out of HFCs by 2020 could howeverquickly turn out to be counter-productive in terms of overallemission reductions," maintained Andrea Voigt.
