3 2 Transport Refrigeration

There is currently no ban included in the F-Gas Regulation’s Annex III that regulates new, HFC-based transport refrigeration equipment.

Stakeholders were asked how this lack of a market prohibition has affected the sector in terms of 1) increasing the uptake of climate-friendly alternative technologies; 2) increasing the development of climate-friendly alternative technologies; and 3) increasing the price competitiveness of climate-friendly alternative technologies.

Seventy-nine percent of survey respondents said that the lack of ban slowed the uptake of climate-friendly

alternative technologies, while 68% said it also slowed the development of such technologies. The same percentage (68%) believed that it negatively impacted the price competitiveness of alternative technologies.

When asked whether they support a full ban on HFC-based equipment in transport refrigeration by 2024, 63% said they did.
