Guidance
Guidance documents outlining the obligations under the F-gas Regulation and information for companies on reporting on F-Gases are available.
As the thresholds for obligations in the Regulation are given in CO2 equivalents, a calculation tool is available to translate tonnes of CO2 equivalent into metric tons.
The EU Member States are responsible for implementing the F-gas Regulation. For clarification and enforcement issues, please get in touch with the relevant contact in your Member State.
