What are the key success factors? What are the main obstacles?
As there are different types of F-gases being used in a considerable number of applications a professional end of life management is of utmost importance. In order to ensure efficient recycling and reclamation, different types of gases or fluids should not be mixed.
RRRD is already operational in Europe today but there is no harmonized approach yet. In some Member States we find specialized companies being able to perform reclamation and destruction operations, in other Member States these facilities do not exist. Therefore cross border transport of used gases and fluids without high bureaucratic hurdles is essential to ensure proper treatment leading to essential emission reductions. Depending on the country this is very often not the case.
